Requirement for Consent

The idea of the above cite is that all civil subject matters or powers by any government NOT expressly consented to by the 3 object of those powers are foreign and therefore outside the civil legal jurisdiction of that government. This fact is 4 recognized in the Declaration of Independence, which states that all just powers derive from the CONSENT of those 5 governed. The method of providing that consent , in the case of a human, is to select a civil domicile within a specific 6 government and thereby nominate a protector under the civil statutory laws of the territory protected by that government. 7 This fact is recognized in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 17(b), which says that the capacity to sue or be sued is 8 determined by the law of the domicile of the party. Civil statutory laws from places or governments OUTSIDE the domicile 9 of the party may therefore NOT be enforced by a court against the party. This subject is covered further in: 10

Why Domicile and Becoming a “Taxpayer” Require Your Consent , Form #05.002 http://sedm.org/Forms/FormIndex.htm

A very important aspect of domicile is that whether one is domestic and a citizen or foreign and a non-resident under the 11 civil statutory laws is determined SOLELY by one's domicile, and NOT their nationality. You can be born anywhere in 12 America and yet still be a statutory “non -resident non- person” or “transient foreigner” in relation to any and every state or 13 government within America simply by not choosing or having a domicile within any municipal government in the country. 14 You can also be a statutory "non-resident non-person" in relation to the national government and yet still have a civil 15 domicile within a specific Constitutional state of the Union, because your DOMICILE is foreign, not your nationality. 16

In law, a “non - resident” is called a “foreigner”, “stranger”, “transient foreigner”, "sojourner", or "stateless person". This is 17 an unavoidable result of the fact that states of the Union are: 18

1. Sovereign in respect to each other and in respect to federal jurisdiction. 19 2. 20

“foreign countries” or “foreign states” with respect to federal legislative jurisdiction.

“The United States Government is a foreign corporation with respect to a state .” [N.Y. v. re Merriam 36 N.E.

505, 141 N.Y. 479, affirmed 16 S.Ct. 1073, 41 L.Ed. 287] [19 Corpus Juris Secundum (C.J.S.), Corporations, §884 (2003)]

3. Addressed as “states” rather than “States” in federal law because they are foreign. 24 4. The equivalent of independent nations in respect to federal jurisdiction excepting the subject of foreign affairs. 25

" The States between each other are sovereign and independent. They are distinct and separate sovereignties, except so far as they have parted with some of the attributes of sovereignty by the Constitution. They continue to be nations, with all their rights, and under all their national obligations, and with all the rights of nations in every particular ; except in the surrender by each to the common purposes and objects of the Union, under

the Constitution. The rights of each State, when not so yielded up, remain absolute." [Bank of Augusta v. Earle, 38 U.S. (13 Pet.) 519, 10 L.Ed. 274 (1839)]

The Bible shows how the transition from FOREIGN to DOMESTIC and POLITICAL to LEGAL happens in relation to 32 God in the following passage: 33

2 That at that time ye were without (separated from) Christ, being aliens (shut out) from the commonwealth (Politeo, polis) of Israel, and strangers (xenos or alien) from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and

34

35

without God (atheist) in the world (cosmos) :

36

13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

37

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition (hedge or

38

fence) between us;

39

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity (hostility), even the law (nomos) of commandments contained in

40

ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man (anthropos), so making peace;

41

16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain (killed) the enmity thereby:

42

17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
