Remember that measure included in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act? Well, three of those that wrote the bill are no longer in office. Dent is the only remaining idiot still in the House.
Enemy Expatriation Act
In January 2012, Lieberman co-sponsored the Enemy Expatriation Act
(HR 3166 and S. 1698) a proposed law in the United States also sponsored
by Senator Scott Brown (R-MA) and Representatives Charlie Dent (R-PA)
and Jason Altmire (D-PA). The bill would allow the United States
government to strip US citizens of their citizenship if they participate
in terrorism, defined as "providing material support or resources to a
Foreign Terrorist Organization, as designated by the secretary of state,
or actively engaging in hostilities against the United States or its
allies". In early 2012, the proposal was compared to the recently passed
National Defense Authorization Act,
and some writers have suggested that the two laws could be used
together to take away citizens' civil liberties. If passed, the bill
would add to the circumstances under which US citizenship can be lost.
