Before I explode... I NEED to get this posted so that others are aware.

HR 3166 :: Taking Away Your American Citizenship :: Enemy Expatriation Act

======================================================

S 1698 :: Taking Away Your American Citizenship :: Enemy Expatriation Act

Sponsor = Joe Lieberman MISTER Independent

Cosponsored by Scott Brown ... the glorious Tea Party Candidate!!!

Why would our government need to STRIP an American Citizen of their nationality!?

We already have laws for TREASON and even HIGH TREASON.

I'm already sending this out to as many publicity as I can think of... can others please help me decipher this legal bullsh!t before I go ballistic?? Thanks!!!



Edit to add link from last month...

Oh this is rich isn't it? This Administration solves the immigration program by making illegals into legals so there is no problem. They'll solve the indefinite detention of American citizens or outright assassination of American citizens by simple insuring that the stripping of citizenship is a routine part of the process once they target someone. When you can't change reality, change the description of it.

The constitution is somewhere back there in our rear view mirror. We need to go back and pick it up.

Please help comb through the bills at the links.

this could be law the key words could be:www.gpo.gov... from the link

By Mr. DENT:
H.R. 3166.
Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant
to the following:
Article I, Section 8, Clause 4

here is the text of the constitution www.constitution.org... for it could be by 2 reasons

Section. 7.All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States;[2] If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes of both Houses shall be determined by yeas and Nays, and the Names of the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him, or being disapproved by him, shall be repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.

Section. 8.The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

see clause 4

ok it is a short one so here it is

H.R.3166 -- Enemy Expatriation Act (Introduced in House - IH)

HR 3166 IH

112th CONGRESS

1st Session

H. R. 3166

To add engaging in or supporting hostilities against the United States to the list of acts for which United States nationals would lose their nationality.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

October 12, 2011

Mr. DENT (for himself and Mr. ALTMIRE) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

A BILL

To add engaging in or supporting hostilities against the United States to the list of acts for which United States nationals would lose their nationality.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the `Enemy Expatriation Act'.

SEC. 2. LOSS OF NATIONALITY.

(a) In General- Section 349 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1481) is amended--

(1) in subsection (a)--

(A) in each of paragraphs (1) through (6), by striking `or' at the end;

(B) in paragraph (7), by striking the period at the end and inserting `; or'; and

(C) by adding at the end the following:

`(8) engaging in, or purposefully and materially supporting, hostilities against the United States.'; and

(2) by adding at the end the following:

`(c) For purposes of this section, the term `hostilities' means any conflict subject to the laws of war.'.

(b) Technical Amendment- Section 351(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1483(a)) is amended by striking `(6) and (7)' and inserting `(6), (7), and (8)'.

so basically it is say this us-code.vlex.com... be comes null and void and is rewritten

That's got to have something to do with Bradley Manning, that's how it is reading to me, he helped the "enemy" by leaking classified documents, now they want to strip him of his US nationality.

OK, maybe not specifically for him, but I bet he got the ball rolling.

Thank you for bringing the bill to the thread.

I can read. I can't understand legaleze ATM.

INA: ACT 349 FN 1

[Sec. 350 was repealed]

this is what I have found so far, there is still the Law of war , the US is now a Battlefield, and to see if this S1698 is truly, law

So... Let's say people have the Wikileaks Insurance File, just to use an example. That likely have classified material and if my hunch is right..some VERY highly classified material contained inside it. Does some creative reading of all this make it possible to read the possession of that to be actionable? Where are the lines???

Somehow..I just don't trust the people in the cat bird seat right now. Nope... The love just isn't there.

here is an other helpful link www.law.cornell.edu... for this is just too important to let it go , it too must be brought out to the public eye, if not law than for no other reason but to inform you as to what they plan on making law, or try to make law.

reply to post by Wrabbit2000
let say if they have it and are found to have it... may god have mercy on them.

reply to post by Wrabbit2000

I use Cornell frequently enough. Thank you!

Also, Your point is taken, (and those were my initial thoughts, US is a Battlefield now.)

To bad most people do not understand why this is happening. We were never supposed to be United States Nationals. There was no such thing as a United States citizens. People were citizens of thier respective states not citizens of the now corporate entity called the United states.

I know it doesn't really matter now because we have gone along with this for so long out of ignorance and all our documents ask if we are US citizens and we all answer yes cause we cannot get our license permits job etc if we say no. And very few people would even know to say no anyway... Sad day in America but the corporation has become the de facto government and people are none the wiser.

Emphasis added to help those that STILL don't get it!

Pull your heads out of your UFO's ... There are bigger bodies to autopsy (or fish to fry.) Research what's tangible.

OMG most people on ATS can VOTE!

Oh wait, 80% of ATS are for Ron Paul. Boggles the mind completely.

What does this part mean ?

Updates to this section of the United States Code

Title 8 > Chapter 12 > Subchapter III > Part III > Section 1481

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

Title 8 of the US Code as currently published by the US Government reflects the laws passed by Congress as of Jan. 7, 2011, and it is this version that is published here.

However, the long codification process by The office of the Law Revision Counsel (LRC) starts very quickly after any new legislation with "classification" to corresponding US Code sections. They put these in "Classification Tables" and make them available to us all at uscode.house.gov...

What was added to code on Jan 7, 2011 ?

Updates to this section of the United States Code

thanks for qualifying, I'm not sure if I have anything to hide. With the barrage of laws coming out...

Laws that up-end the Constitutional rights (with which we come to understand and take for granted!)

You may be/become a terrorist and not even know it!

Exactly. And soon they will take your nationality. AGAIN. What is the purpose?

We already have Treason and High Treason laws.

Why does the US government want the ability to STRIP ones nationality/citizenship?

What is the implication? What happens when you become a former US Citizen?

I would first guess that one would be ejected from the country? Obama's uncle is still here so...???
