7. couldn't that be turned the other way

As "taking an oath or making a declaratoin to a foreign state" is not
provable, they could insinuate that such a declaration has been made
and say it's intent was to renounce. Legislating intent is a 2 edged
sword, as it can be used to presume guilt, and how does one prove one
did or did not have such intent.

There is a distinct vibe i get, that they are getting prepared to
strip people of citizenship, who oppose them... as how can one prove
that by vehemently opposing bush, that one is not an enemy, and must
have taken an oath to "al queda", and therefore had the intent to
renounce.
