Open email to Sen. Cruz (TX):
Dear Sen. Cruz,
I have read your newsletter September 19 and congratulate you on two points
You want to strip Americans who join ISIS of their US citizenship. The background on this is Title 8 › Chapter 12 › Subchapter III › Part III › § 1481, which says, "(a) A person who is a national of the United States whether by birth or naturalization, shall lose his nationality by voluntarily performing any of the following acts with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality if entering, or serving in, the armed forces of a foreign state, if such armed forces are engaged in hostilities against the United States".
The major catch here is that the offender must have intention of relinquishing his United States nationality, which is difficult to prove. Obviously, the law needs improvement. We need to specify that the mere action of operating in any foreign or domestic organization which has a stated intention or completed actions to harm the US shall lose his citizenship.
You also said that you could not vote for the Continuing Resolution, which funds Obama’s Amnesty, Obamacare, and military operations in Syria not authorized by Congress. Other than my hearty congratulations for your position, my only other comment is that you have a single vote, and you must in some manner convince a majority of the Senators to follow your lead. The question is basically whether Obama or Congress is running the country.
