I do say as a lawyer that no court could so construe it. for the simple and obvious reaeon. to begin with. that it would be unconstitutional. We are not mndertakingto take any mans citizenship away. but the United States have certain duties in regard to their citizens abroad. That provision of the Constitution does not take away the right of a citizen of the United States to become naturalized ina foreign country. it does not relate to it. Its object was to provide who should be citizens of the United States within its jurisdiction. Its object in short. was to reverse the Dred Scott decision.
