I have read that by joining the group he did, he effectively renounced his American Citizenship. One needn’t say “I revoke my American Citizenship” to do so, the mere act of joining a foreign military/terror campaign against the US effectively terminates your citizenship and all rights thereof.
I don’t know where you read that but it is a total myth. He did not renounce his US Citizenship simply by joining Al Qeda.

I think the key words are “joining a foreign military”
Since tea partiers didn’t join a foreign military, the govt shouldn’t be able to just take them out on a whim.
