Okay, thanks. What about this...

Under the Court's current jurisprudence, the Naturalization Clause empowers Congress to expatriate U.S. citizens without obtaining their consent, but only with respect to naturalized citizens who fall outside the protection of the Citizenship Clause. Individuals not protected by the Citizenship Clause acquire U.S. citizenship, if at all, solely by an act of Congress enacted pursuant to the Naturalization Clause, and not pursuant to the Constitution itself. See Rogers v. Bellei, 401 U.S. 815, 830 (1971)

This is a ruse to keep up the facade that “jus soli” citizenship regardless of the parents nationality is law, when it the State Dept clearly says it is not. Law by fiat, legislating from the bench. It isn't going to end anytime soon. Sleep well, Shalom
