You made this statement. Now you will have to back it up. Please show me the text in the Edmunds-Tucker Act that stripped them of their citizenship.
If you cannot do this, then you need to walk back that statement. It is not true.
It was the Edmunds-Tucker Act that punished them for their illegal acts of polygamy, and the act was upheld by the Supreme Court of the U.S. in 1890.
The punishment outlined in that act was loss of property, fines, and imprisonment. I see nothing in there about stripping them of their citizenship. Do you have any proof that they were punished by our government for violating the Edmunds-Tucker act? Or are you just assuming they were?
Please show us the naturalization records or other act which restored their previously forfeited U.S. citizenship.
Natural born citizens do not have naturalization records. It is only an apparently false allegations that they lost their citizenship. Apparently the U.S. Government did not agree with you.
It isn’t just the Edmunds-Tucker Act. Theree was the prior anti-bigamy act in IRRC about 1869 and some varous otheer legal acts and proceedings which stripppeed them of the right to vote, hold elective officee, property forfeitures, and an assortment of other legal disqualifications which led them to claim they had lost their citizenship. What they were talking about were their rights as citizens, which they said made it all the same for them to go to Mexico to obtain Mexican ccitizenship and all that entailed. In other words, it was the Mormon emigrants who claimed they had been stripped of their citizenship, which perhaps acctually meant they had in effecct if not legal fact lost their citizenship. What this means is that the whole issue of the citizenship of these affected people is miredd in a quagmire of intrnatonal legalities which left the citizeenship of these people in reasonable doubt and obscurity. Did they retain theeir actual U.S. citizenship and still have it when they became refugees to the United States. Perhaps they did. If so, however, it is perfectly reasonable to ask for the documentation. It would also benefit the Republic to settle the legal question of whether or not a person who eveer owed allegiance to a foreign sovereign is a natural born citizen for the purposes of the natural born citizen clause of the U.S. Constitution when there is a claim of dual citizenship or multiple citizenship. The U.S. citizens have rights too, and one of them is the right to know that a candidate is eligible for the office in the election.
I’m departing on the highway for a few days now. It’s not too practical to type this stuff on the smartphone, so I’ll leave this to you folks to fight it out. have fun, and defeat Romney.
