shall NOT be singed.
I realize this is minor, but how would the flag be disposed of if we can't burn it? I was in the scouts and we "retired" our old and worn out American flags by burning them in an official ceremony. Would our whole scout troop have our citizenship revoked?
I think sending to flags to Mexico is probably part of the plan to make them great again also.
For seven-figure contributions, Trump's richest supporters will get a slew of special perks during the inauguration weekend, including eight tickets to a “candlelight dinner” that will feature “special appearances” by Trump, his wife, Melania, Vice President-elect Mike Pence and his wife, Karen

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.
Isn't illegal to burn stuff/start things on fire in public places? I would think it is in most cities.

I can't think of a single offense for which loss of citizenship is actually a thing. Treason? Sure, we'll put you to death, but we wouldn't dare revoke your citizenship.
Becoming a naturalized citizen of another country after age 18. Because you were apparently a Guatemalan citizen by birth rather than naturalization, this wouldn’t apply to you. (And in any case, there’s that “intention” element of the statute; the very reason that many people can become dual citizens of the U.S. and another country.)Joining the military of a foreign state. If you enter or serve in the armed forces of a foreign state and either those armed forces are engaged in hostilities against the U.S. or you serve as an officer (commissioned or non-commissioned), you may be found to have relinquished your U.S. citizenship.Joining the government of a foreign state. If you accept, serve in, or perform the duties of any office, post, or employment under the government of a foreign state or one of its political subdivisions (after age 18), and you either acquire that state’s nationality or take a required oath, affirmation, or declaration of allegiance to it, you may be found to have relinquished your U.S. citizenship.Performing some act to intentionally give up citizenship. For example, some people file a formal oath of renunciation. They may perhaps because they wish to live in another country, and that country does not permit dual citizenship. (Renunciation has also been in the news lately as some wealthy people have used it as a way to stop paying taxes they owe in the United States.)Committing treason or other acts against the U.S. government. Not surprisingly, trying or conspiring to do things like overthrow, bear arms against, or make war on the United States can result in a finding that you have given up your U.S. citizenship.
My Yale Law graduating Supreme Court clerking tenured con law professor who coincidentally is liberal is a dumbass and I will never trust anything he says again
INA § 349 states that a citizen, whether a U.S. citizen by birth or naturalization, shall lose his nationality by voluntarily performing certain acts with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality. The fact of intention is critical; it is not the mere performance of the actions mentioned in § 349.
Seven types of conduct are currently listed in the INA as expatriate. The potentially expatriating acts are: (1) applying for and obtaining naturalization in a foreign country, provided the person is at least 18 years old; (2) making an oath of allegiance to a foreign country, provided the person is at least 18 years old; (3) serving in the military of a foreign country as a commissioned or noncommissioned officer or when the foreign state is engaged in hostilities against the United States; (4) serving in a foreign government position that requires an oath of allegiance to or the nationality of that foreign country, provided the person is at least 18 years old; (5) making a formal renunciation of U.S. citizenship to a consular officer outside of the United States; (6) making a formal renunciation of citizenship while in the United States and during time that the United States is involved in a war; and (7) conviction for treason or attempting by force to overthrow the U.S. government, including conspiracy convictions.
