I am a “national” under 8 U.S.C. §1101(a)(21), since I was born in a state of the Union on property that
was not ceded to the federal government or coming under Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the United
States Constitution. My citizenship status is not defined or limited under federal law because Congress
cannot write legislation that applies to people outside it’s territorial legislative jurisdiction.

I am neither a STATUTORY “citizen” (under 8 U.S.C. §1401) nor a STATUTORY “resident” (“alien” under
26 U.S.C. §7701(b)(a)(A)) of the STATUTORY “United States”, which is defined in the federal tax code at
26 U.S.C.§7701(a)(9). In order to be a “resident”, I would have to be an “alien”, and “nationals” are not
“aliens”. Aliens are defined in 26 C.F.R. §1.1441-1(c)(3) to exclude ”nationals”, which is what I am.
