If you are a naturalized citizen, the government can take it back for treason and send you to prison. In either case, the U.S. owns you. If you denounce your citizenship - born or naturalized - and become a citizen elsewhere, you're still a US citizen and can probably be extradited back. |

Here’s the news release. “We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us,” said Russell Means, a longtime Indian rights activist. “This is according to the laws of the United States, specifically Article 6 of the Constitution,” which states that treaties are the supreme law of the land. “It is also within the laws on treaties passed at the Vienna Convention and put into effect by the U.S. and the rest of the international community in 1980. We are legally within our rights to be free and independent,” he added during a press conference yesterday in Washington. The new country would issue its own passports and driver licenses, and living there would be tax-free, provided residents renounce their U.S. citizenship, he said, according to a report from Agence France-Presse. |
