    The document discusses the author's citizenship status. The author claims to be a "national" under 8 U.S.C. §1101(a)(21) since they were born in a state not ceded to the federal government. As a national, the author argues their citizenship status is not defined by federal law. Additionally, the author states they are neither a statutory "citizen" nor "resident" under Title 26 of the U.S. code since those designations require being an "alien", but as a national they are not considered an alien.

    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.
