RE: Yes but having renounced these people are no longer citizens, get it?

In the United States, the federal government is prohibited from passing ex post facto laws by clause 3 of Article I, section 9 of the U.S. Constitution and the states are prohibited from the same by clause 1 of Article I, section 10.

So, Article I section 9 applies only to American Citizens and NOT to non-citizens?
