Congress enacted Joint Resolution, 54 Stat. 178 (May 3, 1940), which states:
Congress identified individuals who reach the age of majority (twenty-one years) as sovereign citizens.
Congress stated that sovereign citizens exist in a self-governing Republic.
Congress mandated that civil and educational authorities make plans for full instruction of future citizens in their responsibilities and opportunities as sovereign citizens.
Congress directed the judiciary to address newly naturalized citizens upon the form and genius of the Government and the privileges and responsibilities of citizenship.
President Harry S. Truman issued Proclamation 2680 (March 12, 1946) pursuant to 54 Stat. 178, stating:
Every President since 1940 has honored this recognition of sovereign citizenship status.
Congress acknowledged that individuals upon reaching majority become sovereign citizens in a self-governing Republic.
Congress has no authority to revoke, suspend, or abridge the status of sovereign citizenship once attained.
The emergency governance framework imposed since March 9, 1933, operates in direct violation of sovereign citizenship status.
The Senate Special Committee documented that emergency statutes conferred authority "to rule the country without reference to normal constitutional processes."
Governance without reference to normal constitutional processes is incompatible with a self-governing Republic of sovereign citizens.
The Trading with the Enemy Act amendment of March 9, 1933 (48 Stat. 1) extended executive authority from "time of war" to "any other period of national emergency declared by the President."
This statute was NEVER repealed.
The National Emergencies Act, Title IV, §401(a), 90 Stat. 1254 (1976) states:
Section 5(b) of the Trading with the Enemy Act was expressly EXCLUDED from termination.
Senate Report No. 93-549 (1973) documented:
The four proclamations were:
Proclamation 2039 (March 6, 1933) — Banking Emergency
Proclamation 2914 (December 16, 1950) — Korean Conflict Emergency
Proclamation 3972 (March 23, 1970) — Postal Service Emergency
Proclamation 4074 (August 15, 1971) — Economic Emergency
None were terminated. Their legal effects were preserved by the National Emergencies Act §502(a), 90 Stat. 1265 (1976):
Congress acknowledged governance outside normal constitutional processes.
Congress did NOT repeal the statutes enabling such governance.
Congress did NOT terminate the emergency proclamations retroactively.
Congress did NOT restore normal constitutional processes.
Congress PRESERVED all actions taken under emergency authority.
Sovereign citizens in a self-governing Republic cannot be governed outside normal constitutional processes.
Emergency governance violates the self-governing nature of the Republic acknowledged by Congress in 54 Stat. 178.
The 470 emergency statutes documented by the Senate Special Committee delegate to the Executive powers ordinarily exercised by Congress.
This delegation strips sovereign citizens of their self-governing status.
Sovereign citizenship is a constitutional status, not a statutory creation.
Congress acknowledged this status but did not create it.
The status exists upon attainment of majority as recognized by 54 Stat. 178.
Congress has no authority to convert sovereign citizenship into statutory citizenship subject to administrative regulation.
Congress has no authority to abridge the self-governing rights of sovereign citizens through emergency statutes.
Immediate repeal of the Trading with the Enemy Act amendment (48 Stat. 1) as Congress has no constitutional authority to place American civilians under military jurisdiction and control.
Immediate termination of all emergency proclamations and their preserved effects that purport to suspend the Constitution, as there is no delegation of authority for any public representative, servant, trustee, or fiduciary to suspend that sacred instrument.
Immediate restoration of governance under normal constitutional processes — Congress is prohibited eternally from making any law that abridges the rights of the People as delineated in the Bill of Rights, whether enumerated or unenumerated.
Recognition that Sovereign American-Citizens retain their right of autonomous self-governing status and cannot be subjected to emergency rule which purports to suspend the Constitution and the protections provided thereby under any circumstance.
Recognition that individuals who have attained the age of majority are Sovereign American-Citizens as acknowledged by Congress in 54 Stat. 178.
