Is this a type of citizen?
For example, any individual who is issued a certificate of loss of citizenship by the State Department pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1501 (2000), (10) or who is denied a right or privilege of a United States citizen by a government agency (such as a United States passport, see, e.g., Nishikawa, 356 U.S. at 131) on the ground that he is not a citizen of the United States, may file a declaratory judgment action in federal court under 28 U.S.C. § 2201 for a declaration that he is in fact a national of the United States. 8 U.S.C. § 1503(a) (2000). See, e.g., Terrazas, 444 U.S. at 256 (§ 1503 suit filed following issuance of certificate of loss of nationality).

Dual nationality, the Supreme Court has explained, is "a status long recognized in the law." Kawakita, 343 U.S. at 723. See also id. at 734 ("Dual nationality . . . is the unavoidable consequence of the conflicting laws of different countries. One who becomes a citizen of this country by reason of birth retains it, even though by the law of another country he is also a citizen of it.") (citation omitted); Savorgnan, 338 U.S. at 500 (although "[t]he United States has long recognized the general undesirability of dual allegiances[,] . . . [t]emporary or limited duality of citizenship has arisen inevitably from differences in the laws of the respective nations as to when naturalization and expatriation shall become effective"); Elg, 307 U.S. at 329 ("As municipal law determines how citizenship may be acquired, it follows that persons may have a dual nationality."). The mere assertion by an individual of citizenship in one country thus need not manifest an intention to relinquish citizenship in another country, for "[t]he concept of dual citizenship recognizes that a person may have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries and be subject to the responsibilities of both. The mere fact that he asserts the rights of one citizenship does not without more mean that he renounces the other." Kawakita, 343 U.S. at 723-24.

“national” referes to a person born in a territory rather than a state.

“Nationals” as in Puerto Ricans are “nationals” not but not “citizens” as they have no legal representation in congress. That is why there is such a push to make them the 51st state. The libs just love abusing unsuspecting soles to promote more slavery to the govt via stripping them of their hard earned dollars via taxation. As of right now, Puerto Rican salaries/wages are not subject to taxation by the IRS.
