What Is A Passport?
"INA 101(a)(30) The term "passport" means ANY travel document issued by competent authority showing the bearerβs origin, identity, and nationality if any, which is valid for the entry of the bearer into a foreign country.β
CFR22 Sec. 41.104 (a) Passports defined. "Passport" as defined in INA 101(a)(30) is not limited to a national passport or to a single document. A passport may consist of two or more documents which, when considered together, fulfill the requirements of a passport, provided that the documentary evidence of permission to enter a foreign country has been issued by a competent authority and clearly meets the requirements of INA 101(a)(30).
The above definition reflects the ancient traditional meaning of passport: any document issued by your Ecclesiastical government, local sheriff, mayor, local judge, or whoever, that says who you are and where you're from, and what nation has agreed to take you back if you end up causing problems in the country to which you're traveling.
HOWEVER...
Most 21st century passports are documents by which a subject passes through ports by the request of his sovereign to another sovereign for passage, aid, and protection.
Just to get the benefit of this type of passport, allegiance is required and presumed.
"No passport shall be granted or issued to or verified for any other persons than those owing allegiance, whether citizens or not, to the United States."
-Title 22 Persons entitled to passport of the Act, "Foreign Relations and Intercourse," 6 Section 212
Allegiance is defined in law dictionaries as, "Absolute and unqualified fidelity (fealty) owed by a subject to his sovereign, in return for the protection the sovereign gives the subject."
Title 8, CFR PART 337 establishes and defines "Allegiance to the United States."
Applicants for a U.S. passport are bound under agreement, stating under oath, affirmation, or by application and deed, that,
"I am a citizen or National of the United States."
"Citizen" has been redefined from its original meaning ("freeman") :to "Member in a political society bound together by allegiance to a common Sovereign."
"No passport will be given or verified except to those who OWE ALLegiance to the United States.
Now that "ALL" would include renouncing citizenship in the Kingdom of Heaven, abjuring all allegiance to the Prince of Peace, fidelity the King of Kings, and the ultimate Potentate, YHWH.
You sure you wanna sign that oath just to go on vacation?
There are other, less eternally expensive ways to get through ports.
If you bear allegiance to a government, you will be required at that government's whim to agree to and commit to the following:
"...I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
