“The statute under which Bellei was stripped of his citizenship was repealed by the U.S. Congress in 1978.”— Wikipedia
So Rogers v Bellei was case law for eight years and then it was rendered moot by congressional action.

Moot - by law.

What stops Congress from re-acting it?

Another SCOTUS ruling that creates issues to the ‘everyone is a natural’ crowd. Just like V v. H.

Its still all laws - nothing natural about it. Cruz (and others) ain’t naturals.

So in the paradoxical legal world that you inhabit, Congress can flip a switch and convert a non Natural citizen into a natural one? (Even though he and the mother STILL have conditions?)

This is why people hate lawyers.

The retention requirements were repealed for those who acquired citizenship by birth abroad to U.S. citizens. How does that render everything else SCOTUS said in Rogers v. Bellei moot?

Congress still has the power to revoke their citizenship by passing another statute. Granted, that is likely an impossibility in today's world, but I am struggling to get past that point. Congress cannot strip 14th Amendment citizens of their citizenship without their consent.
