     I don't think they would have it revoked anyway as they became citizens of the Republic of Atlasia pursuant to Atlasian law. That those laws later changed would be immaterial.

     So nobody cares about my objection that DWTL's amendment is useless? *sigh*

Sorry, I believe you're quite correct. Citizenship granted cannot later be revoked. Residency can, but citzenship cannot. At least, that's how it is here.

    Both my mother & Torie are fairly sure that this would not revoke the citizenship of any illegal immigrants who became citizens because of the Illegal Immigration Act. I don't think there's anything to worry about.

6-0 Aye, this has passed. It's a shame that so few senators bothered to vote, though.

Now you need cloture and final vote.

     We can avoid cloture by just waiting a day.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Aye

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Aye
