Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has told Donald Trump it's time to stop questioning Barack Obama's citizenship.

The former Massachusetts governor said he now believes that President Obama was born in the U.S. The comments come after several of Romney's fellow GOPers, including Trump and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, publically questioned Obama's citizenship, despite the fact his Hawaii birth has been confirmed by Aloha State officials.

Property tycoon Trump has stated he believes Obama was born in Kenya and claims to have sent a team of investigators to Hawaii to get to the bottom of the scandal. But Romney told CNBC's Kudlow Report: 'The citizenship test has been passed.

'There are real reasons to get this guy out of office … but his citizenship isn't the reason why.'
