    I don't like this. The government should not have this kind of power.

    @Trestin - I'm still thinking about this one. I agree that the president should not be able to put an American citizen on the assassination list. In an earlier time, this monster's citizenship would have been revoked. There's plenty of precedent for that.

    I think he never should have been granted automatic birthright citizenship in the first place. His parents were Yemenis living in the U.S. who were not interested in citizenship for themselves and had no loyalty to the U.S. They never intended their child to grow up as an American, and, in fact, they took him back to Yemen when he was just 7 years old, where his father went on to become Yemen's Minister of Agriculture.
