Abstract

The article reports on the approval for the Americans to have dual citizenship. It notes that the Supreme Court threw out a provision to withdraw citizenship from those who flee the country to escape the draft in 1963. In 1967, the court overrules itself and nullifies the Congress' power over foreign affairs. Justice Hugo Black pens that the Constitution limits the government to powers which are granted or those that are irrelevant.
