To: Macho MAGA Man

Were you aware that 8 U.S. Code § 1481 (a)(7) days that anybody who committed or conspired in an act of insurrection can be stripped of his citizenship? And that paragraph (b) of that section places the burden of proof is not on the government but on the person?

Note that this section does not say that you had to be found guilty of those crimes, merely that you committed them. In other words, the government simply needs to assert that thus and so action was an insurrection and show that you were somehow involved and **boom** no more US citizenship.

After they prohibit any MAGA candidate from being able to run, I really believe that they’ll go after citizenship next. And not just for political candidates. Those without a second passport will be left stateless.

You should have read it more carefully. It does state '... if and when he is convicted thereof by a court martial or by a court of competent jurisdiction.'.
