1 or 2 million voters, Women, Black, Hispanic... will suddenly find out that they "renounced" their citizenship.

$1B to create chaos at the elections in swing states means nothing to the people that want a dictator.

Non residents of the US still pay US taxes, and that’s typically the main reason people renounce citizenship in the first place.
