Is it true if you are a felon?

Question

You lose your us citizenship. Can you get it back with a passport?

Answer 1

if you we're born here, no, you do not lose your citizenship

... but you do lose some rights


it is possible that someone who was born in another country and gained US citizenship could lose it if convicted of a felony ... and no, a passport cant get it back

Answer 2

In most states, you lose your right to vote or own a gun, so you become disenfranchised, and unable to affect how your country is run. However, the law is not the same in all states, some states only revoke right to vote after second conviction, some states return right after a few years, and in some states, you can petition the court where you were convicted to restore your right. Owning a gun is pretty much gone for good due to the Brady bill though. In Florida, there is a movement afoot to no longer deny felons the right to vote, because it has been found that fully 60% of the adult black males in some communities are unable to vote. This law seems to affect poor and minority populations the most, and thus is most likely due for a change. Drug convictions are the most common reason for the revocation.

Answer 3

No. Once you are a citizen, then it's final unless you renounce your citizenship. Nevertheless, in some states (12 I believe) felons can't vote. They can also lose the right to bear arms. Bottom line, don't become a felon!

Answer 4

often can't get a passport. but they don't specifically lose citizenship. they lose their citizens rights when they go to prison. after they get out they cannot vote.

Answer 5

No.

You can not get anything back with a passport. A passport is just a travel document saying you are a citizen.

Answer 6

Yeah, George Bush wishes he could deport felons.
