Oppose the advancement of H.R. 237 because the bill: 1) is unnecessary because the U.S. Dep. of State already has the legal authority to revoke passports for national security reasons; 2) impinges on U.S. citizens’ constitutional right to due process as there is no method to meaningfully dispute and challenge the factual basis underlying a determination to revoke a passport; and 3) violates U.S. citizens’ right to return home to the United States should a citizen be traveling abroad and have his or her passport revoked.
Also,I believe that the Fourteenth Amendment’s citizenship guarantee prohibits the government from any action that curtails or restricts the citizenship rights of Americans. This protection extends to citizens residing in the U.S. and returning home after traveling abroad.
