[[I refuse to engage Springfield Reformer.]]

Sorry, I wasnt’ aware of that- I just ran across his argument in that other thread- it seemed like it’s making the same points which i’ll point out below-

[[His contention is directly contradicted by the Bellei case.]]

Yes I know, that’s why I pointed to it- and it is also the contention of the CRS report from what I understand of it- and it’s the point I was trying to bring up- although unfortunately far more clumsily in my case-

[[His contention is that because 1401 has no conditions subsequent to birth, that citizenship under 1401 is not naturalization.]]

Correct- this the point I was trying to make- under 1401, no -conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth,- needs take place-
