Thank you for the logical point.
If only everyone else would wise up.
If a person is a citizen by birth (natural born, as opposed to naturalized), then that citizenship is not going to be taken away by some future act of Congress or by a future court or whatever.
Born a citizen has meaning.
Not just on the day you are born, but forever thereafter, that is NOT going to be UNDONE.
Theorizing to the contrary notwithstanding.
I get your point, but statutory citizenship has been revoked before. It likely wouldn’t be done today and almost certainly not for Cruz.
But ... if he pushed them (his enemies) far enough and they had control of both houses and passed a revision to the citizenship statutes the same way they shoved Obamacare down our throats, they could revoke his citizenship. (In which case, I’m headed to D.C. in open rebellion.)
“then that citizenship is not going to be taken away by some future act of Congress or by a future court or whatever.”
No a future act of Congress, perhaps, but a future act y the person, yes. There are laws that say when Congress can strip a person of their citizenship including treason and foreign allegiance.
