[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We have stripped natural born citizens of their citizenship[/b], largely for terrorism issues. Right now, the left is claiming we can't do it to naturalized citizens but isnt including natural born citizens in the argument.

I think this is a very difficult issue and that revocation should be reserved for terrorism or support for terrorism. [/quote]

I do not believe that this is correct.  Citizenship by birth is granted by the Constitution and there is no procedure to remove that citiznship.  Death penalty makes citizenship moot, so there's that.

If you can cite an instance of a natural born citizen having their citizenship revoked, I'm all ears.[/quote]

8 U.S. Code § 1481 - Loss of nationality by native-born or naturalized citizen; voluntary action; burden of proof; presumptions

includes not just treason:

(3)entering, or serving in, the armed forces of a foreign state if (A) such armed forces are engaged in hostilities against the United States, or (B) such persons serve as a commissioned or non-commissioned officer; or
(4)
(A)accepting, serving in, or performing the duties of any office, post, or employment under the government of a foreign state or a political subdivision thereof, after attaining the age of eighteen years if he has or acquires the nationality of such foreign state; or (B) accepting, serving in, or performing the duties of any office, post, or employment under the government of a foreign state or a political subdivision thereof, after attaining the age of eighteen years for which office, post, or employment an oath, affirmation, or declaration of allegiance is required; or

Seems like anyone who has gone to serve in the IDF as a commissioned or noncommissioned officer is SUPPOSED to lost their citizenship. [/quote]

This is very very specific and not at the whim of the Secretary of State as some would like[/quote]
