Yes, Republican Mitt Romney appears eligible to be president, according to a copy of Romney's birth certificate released to Reuters by his campaign. Willard Mitt Romney, the certificate says, was born in Detroit on March 12, 1947.
His mother, Lenore, was born in Utah and his father, former Michigan governor and one-time Republican presidential candidate George Romney, was born in Mexico.
So on a day when real estate and media mogul Donald Trump was trying to help Mitt Romney by stirring up a new round of questions about whether Democratic President Barack Obama was born in the United States, Romney's own birth record became a reminder that in the 1968 presidential campaign, his father had faced his own "birther" controversy.
Back then, George Romney - who died in 1995 - was a moderate who was challenging eventual President Richard Nixon in the Republican primaries.

I say we do what the GOP does, and just baselessly declare the thing photoshopped.

(7,932 posts)I was a video of him being born, next to a GPS unit and I also want to see the long form birth certificate of the Doctor who delivered him and those of his parents and grandparents.
how could his dad run for president with a birth certificate from Mexico?

(4,063 posts)according to Trump that's not the same as a "birth certificate",,,, at least that's what he said about President Obama's.

(62,444 posts)It's an obvious fake.
No doctor's name.
No hospital.
No seal.
And it has "VOID" printed right on it.

Its one thing to take money from the idiot, but to be seen out and about with and your the rethug presidential nominee, no class at all for someone who wants to lead the free world.
