Supreme Court Overrules Expatriation Power on Citizenship
The court, by 5 to 4, declares 14th Amendment makes a citizen's nationality inviolate unless voluntarily renounced. It allows dual citizenship, overturning 1958 ruling that revoked citizenship for voting in foreign elections. Beys Afroyim, born in Poland, had citizenship restored after voting in Israel and returning to the United States. Justice Harlan dissented, warning of dual loyalties and echoing fears from German-American history.
