Mitt Romney's birth certificate.

[makememeek]

Well well well.

It seems Mitt Romney's mother was born in America,
but his father (George) was born in Mexico.

A Mormon.
Maybe a closet Liberal?
His father's citizenship at the time of Mitt's birth was? Clue me in here!
Was Mitt at any time a citizen of Mexico?

Wouldn't surprise me. Even McCain's eligibility, based on his birth place, was questionable. No one gives a hoot about the Constitution anymore--it's just a piece of paper apparently. In fact, I have no idea what form of government we have anymore. It's just whatever "they" say it is.

Mitt Romney is an anchor baby? j/k He is our only option now, unless we want Obamanation to continue another 4 years we have to back our GOP candidate.

was Mitt born here? If so, what's the issue? By our own laws, he has citizenhip through his parent provided that the proper paperwork (if any was requried) was filled in. Since Romny was born here in the states he is a citizen..

Mitt was born in Detroit....if his father was a citizen of Mexico at that time, yes he would have dual citizenship because of that fact alone. I may be wrong, but actually being born in the US makes someone a natural-born citizen, which is why some Mexican women will cross the border into the states while in labor so that their child gains citizenship.

Based on article 2 of the constitution that other posters have cited, eligibility for being a candidate for POTUS, requires BOTH parents to be US citizens, so the question you should be asking is if Mitt's Dad was ever a US citizen...

As for who recognizes the authority of the constitution, apparently only anti- gay-marriage and anti- abortion are considered unconstitutional at the moment.

Man, I had no idea that both parents of POTUS had to be U.S. citizens. Sad thing is if Romney is elected I can see the media going after him about something like this, while ignoring Barako the last 4 years.

Here is a paragraph from Wikipedia article on Mitt Romney. Mitt's parents were Americans . Mother from Utah . His Father was born in Mexico to American Parents living in a Mormon community in Mexico.

Willard Mitt Romney[1] was born at Harper Hospital in Detroit, Michigan,[2] the youngest child of George W. Romney, a self-made man who by 1948 had become an automobile executive, and Lenore Romney (née LaFount), an aspiring actress turned homemaker.[3][4][5] His mother was a native of Logan, Utah, and his father was born in a Mormon colony in Chihuahua, Mexico, to American parents.[6][7] He is of primarily English descent, and also has more distant Scottish and German ancestry.[8][9][10] He is a fifth-generation member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).[11][12] A great-great-grandfather, Miles Romney, converted to the faith in its first decade, and another great-great-grandfather, Parley P. Pratt, was an early leader in the church during the same time.[13]

Nothing matters. Obama is untouchable. No matter what he does or what we learn about this usurper, he will be re-elected.

Look at all the things the voters knew about his first election......did not matter. His people will make sure he is elected again. I'll vote against him, again; but if I were a betting person, my money would be on Obama's slot. He's a sure winner.

[Jillian]

I agree. I do think Obama will be reelected by the very powers that got him elected in 2008. It's a shame.

As far as politics go, I'm just in it for the ride. God has everything in control. Honestly, last election I write my name in on the ballot :P
I'll do the same this year. I really can't choose between two evils.

Why bother voting then?

Well let me tell you something! This 'ride' you are on is nothing to be taken lightly. People died for your right to vote. Your freedoms did not come easily. Your flippant attitude toward the voting process and this country is quite offensive to me and to others, I'm quite sure. We care deeply about this and pray diligently for our country.

[WKUHilltopper]

And, if you want to fight about this, step right up. I may be an arthritic old lady but I'll be happy to take you on.

I'll buy a ticket!

I can understand feeling like it doesn't matter what you do, you cannot stop the tide. However, it's not over until it's over and we need to live as Christian citizens, doing our due diligence until the end. We all have days when we need to be lifted up off the ground because the world is just too frustrating and I'll just assume you are going through one of those phases. It is very necessary for every Republican to stand united against Obama. It is our only chance to get him out of office. Our fight may not result in a change in the oval office but at least we can look back and say we did our very best.

I'm not saying that I don't do things to better society, and advocate positive occurrences within our culture, but honestly I don't know who to vote for when I can't stand either, so I'm praying and letting God take over (He's already in control anyway).

[Landonholt]

I'm quite hurt, and I'm not sure where this is suppose to go, but I will place this here.

You are correct that God is in control, but He does expect us to do our best with the circumstances that we have. If you don't want to vote because the guy you wanted to be president isn't on the ticket I suppose that is up to you, but to not vote because God is in control and your vote doesn't matter is a little silly. Remember God gave the Israelies what the wanted in the wilderness and lots of people died because of their foolishness and testing God. I agree that Romney isn't the best canidate, but Obama would be a huge disaster. Don't let God give the US non-Christian citizen what they want and let them have Obama again.

[David T. McKee]

I agree. I do think Obama will be reelected by the very powers that got him elected in 2008. It's a shame.

I have to disagree with you - the only power that matters in any election is God's power:

The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. Proverbs 21:1

Whomever gets elected, be sure that God is the one in control of that mans heart ultimately. Our duty, as citizens of a free country based on Christian principles, is to vote our consciences - be sure that God is paying attention to each of our choices in this matter!

Rom 13:1-2
(1) Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.
(2) Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.

BBC
13:1 Those who have been justified by faith are obligated to be subject to human government. Actually the obligation applies to everyone, but the apostle here is concerned especially with believers. God established human government after the flood when He decreed, “Whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed” (Gen_9:6). That decree gave authority to men to judge criminal matters and to punish offenders.
In every ordered society there must be authority and submission to that authority. Otherwise you have a state of anarchy, and you cannot survive indefinitely under anarchy. Any government is better than no government. So God has instituted human government, and no government exists apart from His will. This does not mean that He approves of all that human rulers do. He certainly does not approve of corruption, brutality, and tyranny! But the fact remains that the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
Believers can live victoriously in a democracy, a constitutional monarchy, or even a totalitarian regime. No earthly government is any better than the men who comprise it. That is why none of our governments is perfect. The only ideal government is a beneficent monarchy with the Lord Jesus Christ as King. It is helpful to remember that Paul wrote this section on subjection to human government when the infamous Nero was Emperor. Those were dark days for Christians. Nero blamed them for a fire which destroyed half the city of Rome (and which he himself may have ordered). He caused some believers to be immersed in tar, then ignited as living torches to provide illumination for his orgies. Others were sewn up in animal skins, then thrown to ferocious dogs to be torn to pieces.
