Trump Just Released His Plan to Revoke Birthright Citizenship. It's Worse Than Imagined.

47. Ex post facto laws are expressly forbidden by the United States Constitution in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3 (with

respect to federal laws) and Article 1, Section 10 (with respect to state laws).

They cannot apply the new law retroactively.

If they try and retroactively strip me of my citizenship (I am only a US citizen by accident of birth in Los Angeles, neither of my parents were US citizens or permanent residents, they were in Los Angeles from London, working as bankers on work visas) they owe me a shedload of taxes refunded.

The US and Eritrea (and the rate in Eritrea is very very small) are the only 2 nations on the planet who tax based off citizenship. In other words, the US taxes you on all foreign income earned even if you do not live in the US.

There is an inflation-adjusted (yearly) standard exclusion. For 2024 income it was $126,500, but all income above that is taxed. I have never earned taxable income whilst I lived in the US (from birth to almost 2 years old, then several years in the mid to late 2010s whilst I read for my MBA, again living in LA) BUT I have been smashed with income tax on non US income (above the standard exemption) that occurred whilst I was NOT even living in the US.

If I am ex post facto (which, again, is unconstitutional, see above) stripped of my American citizenship, I am damn well going to take legal action to get those illegally ('illegally' as at that point I would have never been a US citizen under the new law, and thus never subject to US tax law) taxed monies back.
