Secondly, the birthers tried to apply same U.S. laws to Obama’s father, but, Barak was born in Hawaii. This is why Donald Trump – who just backed Mitt – wanted to see our President’s birth cirtificate. Trumps hair – is Big Love!
“However, the Naturalization Act of 1795 repealed the Act of 1790[citation needed] and removed the language explicitly stating that the children of U.S. citizens are natural-born citizens. As such, it is not clear that Romney was actually eligible for the office of president”
Naturalization Act of 1790
The more legal-minded birthers, on occasions, fall back on the Naturalization Act of 1790 in their argument of what constitutes a natural born citizen. In particular, the clause:
“And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States[24]
This is the best reality T.V. show ever made! .There was ‘Dallas’ and there is the Outlaw Colony of religious nuts in South of El Paso, down Mexico way. I’m sure the dinner talk at the Romneys sounded like a bunch of tall tales.

George Romney ran for the 1968 Republican Party nomination in the 1968 United States presidential election.
Romney was the Governor of Michigan and a renowned automaker who focused his campaign on the issues of fiscal responsibility, welfare reform, and the Vietnam War.[1] If elected, he would have been the first Mormon president.
While Romney was born in Mexico, he was still considered a viable and legal candidate for United States president. His Mormon grandfather and his three wives had fled to Mexico in 1886, but none of them ever relinquished U.S. citizenship. While the Constitution requires that a president must be a natural-born citizen, the first Congress of the United States in 1790 passed legislation stating: “The children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond the sea, or outside the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural-born citizens of the United States.” Romney and his family fled Mexico in 1912 prior to the Mexican Revolution. However, the Naturalization Act of 1795 repealed the Act of 1790[citation needed] and removed the language explicitly stating that the children of U.S. citizens are natural-born citizens. As such, it is not clear that Romney was actually eligible for the office of president.
Romney favored fiscal responsibility without raising taxes. His campaign focused on governorship of Michigan, where he inherited a debt of $100 million and turned it around to restore Michigan’s reputation for fiscal responsibility. He favored a tax-code reform.
Romney supported programs for helping students afford college. As governor of Michigan, he started a scholarship program, which helped 15,000 students pay for college in the state. As a solution for welfare reform, Romney stressed personal responsibility and volunteerism, stressing the need for citizenship.
Obama citizenship denial or birtherism is a phenomenon that began during the 2008 US Presidential campaign as an attempt to discredit Barack Obama’s presidential campaign by claiming that he was not born in the United States and thus was ineligible for the presidency.[1] The bullshit rumors and misinformation were initially spread by bitter Hillary Clinton supporters and the usual far-right conspiracy theorists. However, the ideas have—despite extremely strong evidence that they are outright wrong—almost gone mainstream.
The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
Some of the challenges question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama’s American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.
Naturalization Act of 1790
The more legal-minded birthers, on occasions, fall back on the Naturalization Act of 1790 in their argument of what constitutes a natural born citizen. In particular, the clause:
“
And the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States[24]
”
There are three problems with this argument:
1. Obama’s father was resident in the United States, before Obama’s birth.
2. The Naturalization Act of 1790 was superseded by the Naturalization Act of 1795, then the Naturalization Act of 1798 and finally repealed in 1802. The only mention of natural born citizen is in the 1790 act. As a result, this is not current US law and has not been since 1795.
3. The 14th amendment and the Supreme Court cases mentioned above state that any person born in the United States is a citizen regardless of where their parents were born and their legal status at the time (unless they are attacking the US or a diplomat).
Romney was born to American parents living in the Mormon colonies in Mexico; events during the Mexican Revolution forced his family to flee back to the United States when he was a child. The family lived in several states and ended up in Salt Lake City, Utah, where they struggled during the Great Depression.
The Mexican Revolution broke out in 1910 and the Mormon colonies were endangered in 1911–1912 by raids from marauders,[11] including “Red Flaggers” Pascual Orozco and José Inés Salazar.[12] Young George heard the sound of distant gunfire and saw rebels walking through the village streets.[12][13] The Romney family fled and returned to the United States in July 1912, leaving their home and almost all of their property behind.[1][14] Romney would later say, “We were the first displaced persons of the 20th century.”[15]
In the United States, Romney grew up in humble circumstances.[16] The family subsisted with other Mormon refugees on government relief in El Paso, Texas for a few months before moving to Los Angeles, California, where Gaskell Romney worked as a carpenter.[14][17] In kindergarten, other children mocked Romney’s national origin by calling him “Mex”.[18][19]

Miles Park Romney (1843-1904) was born in Nauvoo, Illinois, the son of Miles Romney.[1][2] He married May 10, 1862, to Hannah Hood Hill at Salt Lake City, Utah. He was the president of the St. George Social Hall Company and the St. George Dramatic Association, and also served as a chief of police, attorney-at-law, newspaper editor, and architect.[3] Romney’s son was Gaskell Romney and his grandson was George W. Romney.[4] Romney also married Catharine Jane Cottam.[5]
Eventually he was reimbursed by the Mexican government for some of his losses.[7]

n Meade Huntsman, Jr. (born March 26, 1960) is an American politician, businessman, and diplomat who served as the 16th Governor of Utah. He also served in the administrations of four United States presidents and was a candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.[1]
Huntsman worked as a White House staff assistant for Ronald Reagan, and he was appointed by George H.W. Bush as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce and later as United States Ambassador to Singapore from 1992 to 1993. Huntsman served as Deputy United States Trade Representative under George W. Bush, launching global trade negotiations in Doha, Qatar in 2001 and guiding the accession of the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of China into the World Trade Organization.
Huntsman maintained extremely high approval ratings as Governor of Utah hitting 90% approval at times. In 2008, he won re-election with 77.7% of the vote, defeating Democratic Party nominee Bob Springmeyer.[27]
Parley Pratt was born in Burlington, New York, the son of Jared Pratt (Canaan, New York, 25 November 1769 – Detroit, Michigan, 5 November 1839) and wife (m. 7 July 1799) Charity Dickinson (Bolton, New York, 24 February 1776 – St. Joseph, Missouri, 20 May 1849), a descendant of Anne Hutchinson.[2]
Some historians view Pratt’s death as simply the act of a jealous husband who was deeply angered by a man that had “run off” with his wife.[11] A 2008 Provo Daily Herald newspaper article characterized McLean as a man that had “hunted down” Pratt in retribution for “ruining his marriage”.[12] A 2008 Deseret News article described McLean as a man that had “pursued Pratt across Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas, angry that his estranged wife, Eleanor, had become Pratt’s 12th wife.”[13] But many Mormons viewed Pratt’s death as a martyrdom, a view first expressed in Pratt’s dying words.[14] (But according to LDS church records, his dying words were not recorded until 38 years after his death.)[15
Anne Hutchinson (1591–1643) was one of the most prominent women in colonial America, noted for her strong religious convictions, and for her stand against the staunch religious orthodoxy of 17th century Massachusetts. She was a Puritan whose religious ideas were at odds with the established Puritan clergy in the Boston area, and her popularity and charisma created a schism in the Boston church which threatened to destroy the Puritans’ religious experiment in New England. Creating the most challenging situation for the ruling magistrates and ministers during her first three years in Boston, she was eventually tried and convicted, then banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony with many of her followers
Romney was born in Colonia Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, to parents who had come from the United States. His grandparents on both sides had left the U.S. to avoid prosecution under laws prohibiting the Mormon practice of plural marriage. Romney was the son of George S. Romney and a cousin of Michigan governor George W. Romney, who was born in nearby Colonia Dublan and is the father of 2012 Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. His mother was Teressa Artemesia Redd daughter of Lemuel Hardison Redd and Sariah Louisa Chamberlain. His parents were married in Colonia Juarez in 1894. Marion Romney was the second oldest of their ten children. Romney’s younger sister, Lurlene Romney Cheney, was baptized in the Roman Catholic church and later became Sister Mary Catherine of the Carmelite order, a cloistered nun, at the Carmel of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Holladay, Utah. (Salt Lake Tribune, 9-19-09, p. C2)
In 1961 Romney was appointed the area supervisor for the church over Mexico. Although he had lived his first fifteen years in Mexico, it was in the mainly American Mormon Colonies, so he knew very little Spanish. Romney did try to learn more Spanish, an endeavor in which he was assisted by Eduardo Balderas. Romney supervised the church’s growth in Mexico for the next eleven years. He oversaw a plan that allowed for the church to build many chapels in Mexico and it was during this time that the first stakes in Mexico made up primarily of Spanish speakers were organized.
