His grandfather was the son of two American citizens.
"George Romney himself was unequivocal.
"I am a natural born citizen. My parents were American citizens. I was a citizen at birth," he said, according to a typewritten statement found in his archives."

Romney also claimed that his father was a humble carpenter and didn't go to college. Not so much.
Partly to stay near Lenore,[21] Romney spent the next year as a junior college student at the co-located Latter-day Saints University, where he was elected student body president.[37] He was also president of the booster club and played on the basketball team that won the UtahIdaho Junior College Tournament.[37]

As a lobbyist, Romney frequently competed on behalf of the aluminum industry against the copper industry, and defended Alcoa against charges of being a monopoly.[56][57] He also represented the Aluminum Wares Association.[28][44] In the early 1930s, he helped get aluminum windows installed in the U.S. Department of Commerce Building,[57] at the time the largest office building in the world.[58]
Romney joined the National Press Club and the Burning Tree and Congressional Country Clubs; one reporter watching Romney hurriedly play golf at the latter said, "There is a young man who knows where he is going."[59][60] Lenore's cultural refinement and hosting skills helped him in business, and the couple met the Hoovers, the Roosevelts, and other prominent Washington figures.[34][59] He was chosen by Pyke Johnson, a Denver newspaperman and automotive industry trade representative he met at the Press Club, to join the newly formed Trade Association Advisory Committee to the National Recovery Administration.[59] The committee's work continued even after the agency was declared unconstitutional in 1935.[59] During 1937 and 1938, Romney was also president of the Washington Trade Association Executives.[28]
