Taxed and misconstrued by knuckleheads -- Yes. Tolled again, my ass.

It was not in the slightest mentioned that Bellei was somehow "naturalized", so therefor could be subject to loss of citizenship.

In fact, the majority Court found exactly opposite to that.

Your argument here if there is one, is of seriously "non-starter" status.

No one is saying they did "want to embrace larger risks", perhaps other than a majority of themselves when the same guys wrote up the 1790 code of law regarding citizenship which included the term natural born citizen be applicable to persons born abroad to U.S. citizen parents, prior to five years later, with some of the same original crew around they did away with wording that included 'natural born citizen' within statutory language. But it was there for a little while, which helps show what the phrase "natural born Citizen" could very well include beyond only born within the United States to U.S. citizens.

Yet more than a 150 years later Congress did enact measures that were designed (or so I freely assume) to preclude offspring of U.S. citizens born abroad to need the citizenship which they acquired at birth from a U.S. citizen parent require anything other than residency requirements which ----would go a long ways towards minimizing that very risk you just now (as above italicized) alluded to.

The Constitution itself, among other things, empowered Congress to do so.

The majority opinion in Rogers v Bellei in overturning a lower court's decision found positively for that very thing.

Bellei (not being a statute, is beyond be "tolled") is not stopped in it's tracks at some toll booth, lacking proper coinage of change, but is still rollin' free as a bird, straddling right down the middle stripe of road, as we speak.

Tolled, my ass. Poetry can be fun, but it can be seriously misleading if you start to believe in your own, too much.

There has to be enough underlying truth, or else its just so much gibberish.

“Could well include”

However, does not now include. So a conservative view would indeed, still exclude Cruz.

Tolled, as in sounds out.

You are engaging in word salad; I in logic.
