I’m curious how everyone defines and uses “United States” and “U.S. National” in their explanatory statement
This is my definition:
United States:
Defined in 8 U.S.C. §1101(a)(38), 8 U.S.C. §1101(a)(36), 8C.F.R. §215.1, or 26 U.S.C. §7701(a)(9) and (a)(10).
1. “United States[*]” means the COUNTRY;
2. “United States[**] means federal territory;
3. “United States[***]” means states of the Union and excludes federal territory or federal enclaves within the constitutional states of the Union.
Then I go on to define:
National of the United States:
The term “national of the United States” means (A) a citizen of the United States, or (B) a person who, though not a citizen of the United States, owes permanent allegiance to the United States[*]. 8 USC § 1101(b)(22)
CONSTITUTIONAL “nationals of the United States***”, “State Nationals”, or “Nationals of the United States*** of America”, U.S. National
1. A POLITICAL status not tied to a geographical place. Allegiance can exist independent of geography.
2. Defined in 8 U.S.C. §1101(b)(22), under the Law of Nations, under state laws, and under United States of America Constitution.
3. Is equivalent to the term “state citizen”.
4. In general, born in any one of the several states of the Union but not in a federal territory, possession, or the District of Columbia. Not domiciled in the federal zone.
5. Not subject to the jurisdictional “policy power” of the federal government or most “acts of Congress”.
6. Owes Allegiance to the sovereign people, collectively and individually, within the body politic of the constitutional state residing in.
7. May serve as a state jurist or grand jurist involving only parties with his same nationality and domicile status.
8. May vote in state elections.
9. At this time, all “State Nationals” are also a “United States of America National”. But not all “United States Nationals” are a “State National” (for example, a United States of America National not residing nor domiciled in a state of the Union).
10. Is a man or woman whose unalienable natural rights are recognized, secured, and protected by his state constitution against state actions and against federal intrusion by the Constitution for the United States of America.
11. Includes state nationals, because you cannot get a USA passport without this status per 22 U.S.C. §212 and 22 C.F.R. §51.2.

8 U.S. Code § 1408 – Nationals but not citizens of the United States at birth Unless otherwise provided in section 1401 of this title, the following shall be nationals, but not citizens, of the United States at birth: (2)
How does everyone else make these points clear in their explanatory statement? see any faluts?
