Where in your Wikipedia it says that the U.S. Citizen declared by Congress can be take away involuntarily?

This is school for you (free) The highest court of the land declared that you are full of b.s.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afroyim_v._Rusk

Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967), was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, which ruled that citizens of the United States may not be deprived of their citizenship involuntarily.


Let translate that for you: the government can't sell you or give you away or kick you out of the union for any reason against your will because being a U.S. Citizen of this great nation, you have basic rights and protections and one of the protections is Congress can't take it away your U.S. membership involuntarily for any reason: political, gender, culture, sexual preference, economics, age or what language you speak.


Please, take American Civics 101, you are making the U.S. look very dumb.

and I want a Ferrari and a hot 18 year old model for a wife and a huge mansion. Let's see who gets lucky first.
I didn't know Greenland was for sale? Have the people of Greenland with their government petition the U.S. to become a U.S. territory and be under the full law of the U.S.???? I haven't seen any debate in Greenland or U.S. Congress. Do you represent the government of Greenland?



You don't speak for the Constitution or the people in America. You just have an opinion that is meaningless. Again, admitting territories or states is not a popular vote. If it was, half of the states wouldn't be states. The Mormons in Utah wouldn't have a state if they made it a popular of vote outside of Utah back in 1896. They were hated and were kicked out of Missouri. It would be nice if you take American Civics and American history and know how 13 colonies expanded to 50 states and made territories. It had nothing to do with popular opinion of people outside of the club.

The Danes dont need PR for holidays. They can go to PR already, or Mexico, or Thailand, or Med, or just about anywhere for the holidays. Danes should do everything they can to keep Greenland include bring in the EU. Better EU than US.

What are the Danes doing with Greenland? Nothing. If I was Danish id love to make the trade and have Puerto Rico as a territory and make the crown jewel to the rest of the Dutch Carribean.

If America got Greenland id be over there in a few weeks after the treaty opening my business.

Puerto Rico is not a particular problem area for the U.S. The U.S. Virgin Islands are worse.

I would prefer that we use a 3 strikes law for American felons, giving them 2 chances to rehabilitate themselves then on the 3rd strike, withdraw citizenship and deport them, permanently, to some 3rd world $hithole that agrees to take them in exchange for cash.

Who's with me???

The land isnt going away, whats underneath isnt going way. Holding on to for the future is still good. And its not like its costing them much now, and if it will, then like I said bring in EU.

You mean Andrew Johnson.

But right, the President "shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur"
