Here's another question. If the US had gone through the superfluous process of stripping him of his US citizenship first, would you all be okay with this?

I think this is a very good question. ...

Mind you, the US did in fact strip the birthright citizenship of a US national under similar pretenses. See US born Yaser Esam Hamdi born to Saudi parents.
Hamdi was not stripped of his citizenship. He "voluntarily" renounced it. There is no law that allows for stripping birthright citizens of their US citizenship. APK is just blowing more smoke.

You can be stripped of US citizenship for many reasons.

(7) committing any act of treason against, or attempting by force to overthrow, or bearing arms against, the United States, violating or conspiring to violate any of the provisions of section 2383 of title 18, or willfully performing any act in violation of section 2385 of title 18, or violating section 2384 of title 18 by engaging in a conspiracy to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, if and when he is convicted thereof by a court martial or by a court of competent jurisdiction.



It's arguable that to commit treason, you would have to be found guilty under trial, but many of the others would be merely findings of fact by an administrtive body.
