No, I believe this is the problem. Again, I could be wrong. I read somewhere here on FR way back that they were not going to get Johnny Taliban on treason. They (those who were prosecuting the case) backpedaled saying that since he wasn't in "uniform," he couldn't be charge with treason (in this case, a U.S. citizen fighting on the enemy’s side against the United States) or some dumb excuse like that. In other words, they wouldn't be stripping him of his U.S. citizenship.

If you can add anything to this or against this, I would greatly appreciate it.

On another similar subject, an American who takes on a second citizenship of another country also cannot have his/her U.S. citizenship revoked by the U.S. government. In this instance, the 14th amendment would have to be amended stating that as law.

Yeah. I remember the stuff about Johnny Taliban. So, am I understanding your position correctly that if Bubba Klintoon became Secretary General and ordered an armed UN assault on the United States, that wouldn't be considered a treasonous or seditious act?

Oh don't know about that. It seems that was the entire reasoning behind the Civil War. If Bubba Klintoon wants to rule the world, wouldn't the forces within the US government have a bit of a problem with that.

What is strange is that we even are having this dicussion. The good thing is that if he becomes Secretary General, try as he might, the UN will complete its march (sprint) towards irrelavence.
