Enemy Expatriation Act
The Enemy Expatriation Act (HR 3166 and S. 1698) is a proposed law in the United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) sponsored by Senators Joe Lieberman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Lieberman) (I-CT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecticut)) and Scott Brown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Brown) (R (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States))-MA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts)) and Representatives Charlie Dent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Dent) (R-PA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania)) and Jason Altmire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Altmire) (Democratic Party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States))-PA). The bill would allow the United States government to strip US citizens of their citizenship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizenship_in_the_United_States) if they participate in terrorism, defined as "providing material support or resources to a Foreign Terrorist Organization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._State_Department_list_of_Foreign_Terrorist_Or ganizations), as designated by the secretary of state (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_State), or actively engaging in hostilities against the United States or its allies."[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enemy_Expatriation_Act#cite_note-Ciaramella-0) In early 2012, the proposal was compared to the recently passed National Defense Authorization Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year _2012), and some writers have suggested that the two laws could be used together to take away citizens' civil liberties.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enemy_Expatriation_Act#cite_note-RT-1)[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enemy_Expatriation_Act#cite_note-Portero-2) If passed, the bill would add to the circumstances under which US citizenship can be lost (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_nationality_law#Loss_of_citizenship)
