BING ChatGPT: Proof that the “citizen” the income tax is imposed on is not a Fourteenth Amendment “citizen of the United States” – Sovereignty Education and Defense Ministry (SEDM)

EDITORIAL:

This series of questions helps illustrate the difference between a CONSTITUTIONAL/POLITICAL “citizen” in the Fourteenth Amendment on the one hand and a STATUTORY/DOMICILED citizen on the other hand. They are NOT the same. Courts deliberately abuse the logical fallacy of equivocation to confuse the two by giving them the SAME name: “U.S. citizen”. By doing this, they commit TREASON and violate their oath to protect private property and private rights.

BING CHATGPT QUESTION 1:

Does the fourteenth amendment establish citizenship at birth but not the civil statutory status of someone who doesn’t want its benefits afterward?

BING CHATGPT ANSWER 1:

The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution indeed establishes birthright citizenship. According to its text, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” ¹. This means that anyone born on American soil is automatically a U.S. citizen, regardless of their parents’ status.

The 14th Amendment was a crucial response to the infamous Dred Scott decision of 1857, which held that neither freed slaves nor their descendants could ever become citizens. The amendment negated this ruling and conferred citizenship rights on all those born in the U.S., including freed slaves ².

However, the Fourteenth Amendment primarily establishes federal citizenship, making it impossible for states to prevent former slaves from becoming U.S. citizens by withholding state citizenship ³. It ensures equal protection under the law and defines citizenship based on birthright.

Regarding the civil statutory status, the Fourteenth Amendment does not impose any specific obligations or benefits on individuals afterward. It establishes the fundamental principle of citizenship but does not dictate how citizens must utilize or engage with their status. Whether someone wants to fully embrace the benefits of citizenship or not is a matter of personal choice and circumstances.

In summary, the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship, but it does not prescribe specific civil statutory obligations or benefits for individuals beyond their initial citizenship status.

BING CHATGPT QUESTION 2:

Does that mean that the “citizen” in 26 CFR 1.1-1 is not a fourteenth amendment citizen but rather a civil statutory “citizen”?

BING CHATGPT ANSWER 2:

The “citizen” referred to in 26 CFR 1.1-1 pertains to income tax regulations and is not specifically tied to the Fourteenth Amendment. Let’s break it down:

26 CFR 1.1-1 outlines the income tax on individuals. According to this regulation:
- Section 1 of the Code imposes an income tax on the income of every individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States.
- Additionally, it applies to the income of nonresident alien individuals, to the extent provided by section 871(b) or 877(b) ¹ ².
The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution defines the basis for United States citizenship. It states:
- “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to its jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” ³ ⁴.
Therefore, the Fourteenth Amendment establishes the fundamental principle of citizenship based on birthright, while 26 CFR 1.1-1 deals with income tax obligations for individuals, regardless of their specific citizenship status.

In summary, the “citizen” in 26 CFR 1.1-1 refers to an individual’s tax status, whereas the Fourteenth Amendment defines broader U.S. citizenship. These two concepts serve different purposes and contexts.

BING CHATGPT QUESTION 3:

But you said the Fourteenth Amendment doesn’t establish any CIVIL STATUTORY obligations. And yet, the Internal Revenue Code is civil statutory law. Thus, the CIVIL STATUTORY “citizen” in 26 C.F.R. 1.1-1 couldn’t possibly be a Fourteenth Amendment citizen, unless they at least CONSENTED to ALSO be a civil statutory “citizen”, right?

BING CHATGPT ANSWER 3:

You raise an interesting point, and I appreciate your attention to detail. Let’s delve into this further:

Fourteenth Amendment and Citizenship:
- The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution indeed establishes birthright citizenship. It states that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to its jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” ¹ ².
- This means that anyone born on American soil is automatically a U.S. citizen, regardless of their parents’ status.
26 CFR 1.1-1 and Income Tax:
- 26 CFR 1.1-1 deals with income tax on individuals. It states that “Section 1 of the Code imposes an income tax on the income of every individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States and, to the extent provided by section 871(b) or 877(b), on the income of a nonresident alien individual” ³ ⁴.
- The term “citizen” here refers to an individual’s tax status for income tax purposes.
Consent and Statutory Obligations:
- You rightly point out that the Fourteenth Amendment does not impose specific civil statutory obligations on individuals beyond their initial citizenship status.
- However, the Internal Revenue Code operates independently of the Fourteenth Amendment. It establishes tax obligations based on an individual’s income, regardless of their citizenship status.
- The “citizen” in 26 CFR 1.1-1 is primarily a tax classification, not necessarily tied to the Fourteenth Amendment. It does not require explicit consent beyond the legal framework governing taxation.

In summary, while the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship, the tax-related provisions in 26 CFR 1.1-1 focus on income tax obligations. These two concepts serve different purposes and contexts, and an individual’s tax status does not necessarily imply consent to broader civil statutory obligations.

BING CHATGPT QUESTION 4:

If the “citizen” at 26 CFR 1.1 is not a Fourteenth Amendment citizen, and 26 USC 2209 says that “citizens” in Puerto Rico are not “citizens” within the meaning of 26 CFR 1.1, then who exactly IS the “citizen” they are referring to in 26 CFR 1.1-1?

BING CHATGPT ANSWER 4:

Certainly! Let’s explore the nuances of the term “citizen” in the context of 26 CFR 1.1-1 and its relationship to the Fourteenth Amendment:

26 CFR 1.1-1 – Income Tax on Individuals:
- 26 CFR 1.1-1 outlines the income tax on individuals. It specifies that “Section 1 of the Code imposes an income tax on the income of every individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States and, to the extent provided by section 871(b) or 877(b), on the income of a nonresident alien individual” ¹.
- The term “citizen” here primarily refers to an individual’s tax status for income tax purposes. It does not necessarily align with the broader concept of citizenship as defined by the Fourteenth Amendment.

Fourteenth Amendment and Birthright Citizenship:
- The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution establishes birthright citizenship. It states: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to its jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” ² ³.
- This constitutional provision ensures that anyone born on American soil is automatically a U.S. citizen, regardless of their parents’ status.

Puerto Rico and Citizenship:
- 26 USC 2209 specifically addresses the citizenship status of individuals in Puerto Rico. It clarifies that “citizens” in Puerto Rico are not considered “citizens” within the meaning of 26 CFR 1.1 ⁴.
- While Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birth, their specific legal status and rights differ from those of citizens residing in the fifty states.

In summary, the “citizen” referred to in 26 CFR 1.1-1 pertains to an individual’s tax classification for income tax purposes. It does not necessarily align with the broader concept of citizenship as defined by the Fourteenth Amendment. The distinction between these contexts is essential for understanding tax obligations and legal rights.
