You’re to stupid to realize you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.
A passport is certified proof the person named in the passport is a citizen of the issuing country. Why would the State Department ask a U.S. passport applicant where they are going and when they plan to return the U.S.?
HINT:It’s to establish intent to maintain your citizenship.
In 1967, Obama’s mother told the U.S. State Department she planned to stay in Indonesia indefinitely on her passport renewal. That’s a big mistake if you want to maintain your U.S. Citizenship.
What is the reason for the State Department to demand a passport applicant to inform them if they or a family member have naturalized in a foreign state?
HINT: It’s not idle curiosity. It’s to establish the fact the U.S. Citizen has dual citizenship and will not be stateless if a Certificate of Loss of Nationality is issued.
“In 1967, Obama’s mother told the U.S. State Department she planned to stay in Indonesia indefinitely on her passport renewal. That’s a big mistake if you want to maintain your U.S. Citizenship.”
In 1967, she was overseas. But no, she could stay many years overseas without ever losing her citizenship. And Barry couldn’t lose his by any act of hers.
“Section 349 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1481), as amended, states that U.S. citizens are subject to loss of citizenship if they perform certain specified acts voluntarily and with the intention to relinquish U.S. citizenship. Briefly stated, these acts include:
obtaining naturalization in a foreign state upon one’s own application after the age of 18 (Sec. 349 (a) (1) INA);
taking an oath, affirmation or other formal declaration of allegiance to a foreign state or its political subdivisions after the age of 18 (Sec. 349 (a) (2) INA);
entering or serving in the armed forces of a foreign state engaged in hostilities against the U.S. or serving as a commissioned or non-commissioned officer in the armed forces of a foreign state (Sec. 349 (a) (3) INA);
accepting employment with a foreign government after the age of 18 if (a) one has the nationality of that foreign state or (b) an oath or declaration of allegiance is required in accepting the position (Sec. 349 (a) (4) INA);
formally renouncing U.S. citizenship before a U.S. diplomatic or consular officer outside the United States (sec. 349 (a) (5) INA);
formally renouncing U.S. citizenship within the U.S. (The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for implementing this section of the law) (Sec. 349 (a) (6) INA);
conviction for an act of treason (Sec. 349 (a) (7) INA).
In light of the administrative premise discussed above, a person who:
is naturalized in a foreign country;
takes a routine oath of allegiance to a foreign state;
serves in the armed forces of a foreign state not engaged in hostilities with the United States, or
accepts non-policy level employment with a foreign government,
and in so doing wishes to retain U.S. citizenship need not submit prior to the commission of a potentially expatriating act a statement or evidence of his or her intent to retain U.S. citizenship since such an intent will be presumed.
