Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a “U.S. passport” and a “United States of America Passport”
The root of the potential confusion is that ALL government forms presume the STATUTORY and not CONSTITUTIONAL context for terms.
What is a American National?
The political status of a Union state Citizen under federal law is American “national” pursuant to 8 USC §1101(a)(21). A "national" is therefore someone owing allegiance to a "state". Meaning: "The People rather than the government who serves them.
A Union state Citizen (American “national”) maintains a civil status of nonresident "alien" when domiciled and residing outside of the United States (as a geographical entity).
What is the difference between “U.S. citizen” and “State Citizen”?
- statutory "citizens" and
- constitutional
“That there is a citizenship of the United States and citizenship of a state,...” Tashiro v. Jordan, 201 Cal. 236 (1927)
A statutory citizen is described in 8 U.S.C. §1401. A constitutional "Citizen" is mentioned in Article I, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution. These two types of citizens are mutually exclusive and you cannot simultaneously be both types of citizens at the same time.
We emphasize that All STATUTORY "U.S. persons", "persons", and "individuals" within the Internal Revenue Code are government instrumentalities and/or offices within the U.S. government, and not biological people. And ALL statutory statuses under federal law attach to domicile on federal territory not within the exclusive jurisdiction of any state of the Union.
The root of the potential confusion is that ALL government forms presume the STATUTORY and not CONSTITUTIONAL context for terms.
What is the difference between “United States” and The United States of America?
The root of the potential confusion is quite easily understood. The nation is called the "United States," and each of its two major territorial subdivisions is called the "United States." Citizenship in terms of membership in the nation called the "United States" is obtained through the "citizenship clause" of the Fourteenth Amendment, and statutorily regarded as nationality - this commutes one's political status. Citizenship in terms of domicile within or without the boundaries of one of the major territorial subdivisions of the nation commutes one's civil status. Context, whether it is nationality or domicile, as well as which "United States" is to be regarded for the purposes of establishing each respectively is of paramount importance, as this establishes both political status and civil status.
Nationality and domicile must not be conjoined as being one-in-the-same, but regarded separately under federal law if one does not wish to surrender critical rights and legal status.
What is the benefit of getting a USA passport as a State Citizen?
- A Constitutional "Citizen" as mentioned in Article I, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution.
- A Constitutional "citizen of the United States" per the Fourteenth Amendment.
- A statutory "non-citizen national" under 8 U.S.C. §1101(a)(21) and 8 U.S.C. §1452. "Subject to THE jurisdiction" of the CONSTITUTIONAL United States, meaning subject to the POLITICAL and not LEGISLATIVE jurisdiction of the Constitutional but not STATUTORY "United States".
