Heard the phrase many times, never thought about it much.

Almost sounds like you're not a citizen if you're not on US soil. All of us. Yet we are subject to US jurisdiction outside the US. The legal system can reach far and wide outside the US to detain us, pull our passport, request foreign governments to extradite us, if we are not in good standing as a holder of US passport.

I don't think they have a leg to stand on here.
