U. S. Citizen and state Nationals
At birth, if born within one of the 50 states of the Union, you were not born as a U.S. Citizen. You were a state National* or an American National (8 USC § 1408(2)) of the state in which you were born. So, by virtue of being born in New York, you were, and if still living in New York, are a state National of the Republic of New York or a New Yorker; born in Florida, you are a Floridian; born in Wisconsin, a Wisconsinite. You were literally a New Yorker or Floridian or Wisconsinite and not a U.S. citizen at birth. The country of origin is New York or Florida or Wisconsin^ as you were born without (outside of) the United States**.
Again, if you were born in the Constitutional Republic, one of the 50 states, the moment you came out of the womb, you were considered a state National (8 USC § 1408) of the state in which you were born. Thus, you are already, legally and technically, a state National. There are particular Statutes-At-Large (which means laws passed by Congress) that state "no private contract can violate, negate or mitigate your state National status." The fact that the United States is a corporation headquartered in the District of Columbia makes the contract (by registering you with a Certificate of Birth and admitting you to the Social Security System) changing your citizenship status from a state National to a U.S. citizen null and void because neither you (5 days old) nor your parents knew that the Certificate of Birth was, in fact, a contract. Further, the fact that the contract was not signed by you, but by your parents, is another reason it is null and void no matter that you were an infant and could not autograph your own Certificate of Live Birth.
The definition of “Citizen of the United States” and “U.S. citizen” come from 14 CFR 47.2:
“Citizen of the United States or U.S. citizen means one of the following:
(1) An individual* who is a citizen of the United States or one of its possessions.
(2) A partnership each of whose partners is an individual who is a citizen of the United States.
(3) A corporation or association organized under the laws of the United States or a State, the District of Columbia, or a territory or possession of the United States, of which the president and at least two-thirds of the board of directors and other managing officers are citizens of the United States, which is under the actual control of citizens of the United States, and in which at least 75 percent of the voting interest is owned or controlled by persons that are citizens of the United States.”
*To read the first definition above regarding an 'individual,' read it in this manner: "A sole proprietorship that is a citizen of the District of Columbia (per UCC § 9-307 H) or one of its possessions or territories, i.e., Puerto Rico or U.S. Virgin Islands or Samoa or Northern Mariana Islands, etc."
To read the second definition above regarding 'partnership' read it this way: "A partnership each of whose partners is a sole proprietor of the District of Columbia or Puerto Rico or U.S. Virgin Islands or Samoa or Northern Mariana Islands." You can see how the definition attempts to confuse the reader with the legalese language.

… the term `citizen’ in the United States, is analogous to the term `subject’ in the common law; the change of phrase has resulted from the change in government.” State v. Manuel 20 NC 122 14 CJS section 4
“…the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States do not necessarily include all the rights protected by the first eight amendments to the Federal constitution against the powers of the Federal government.” Maxwell v Dow, 20 S.C.R. 448, at pg 455;
“The only absolute and unqualified right of a United States citizen is to residence within the territorial boundaries of the United States,” US vs. Valentine 288 F. Supp. 957
“Therefore, the U.S. citizens [citizens of the District of Columbia] residing in one of the states of the union, are classified as property and franchises of the federal government as an “individual entity.”

**********************************
Know that whenever you fill out a government form and check the box for "US citizen," then you are TACITLY CONSENTING to be placed into the jurisdiction of the United States, the Corporate United States, as a subject of that corporation via contract. This could be a tax form, a DMV app, passport app, drivers license application, voter registration, etc. Most of the time, when you apply your signature to one of these documents, you are declaring that you are the capitalized CORPORATE version of YOU unless you use specific additional words when autographing an official document.
A "US citizen," is a “government employee (paid or unpaid) residing in the District of Columbia.” Prior to signing any document indicating that you are a US citizen, you were a state National. When you placed your signature on a document indicating that you were a US citizen, you ELECTED, attested, and consented to be a US citizen (Resident Alien). Yes, that sounds strange but when you research this topic as it is now displayed on a number of pages on this website, checking or indicating that you are a US citizen is the surreptitious method that pulls you into the jurisdiction of taxing authorities, the governments, the police, the UCC, etc. It is the main landmine that you need to learn to quit stepping on.
By indicating or checking that you are a US Citizen on any form, you have declared that you are a resident alien who is now part of their system, their statutes, codes, laws, regulations, and their contracts because you are now a 'resident,' as a US Citizen, of their nation/state, country, company called "THE UNITED STATES" which is the District of Columbia.
Now, here is another law that shows that all “US citizens” are volunteer government employees who must pay federal taxes:
19 USC 81o: “(a) Persons Allowed to Reside in Zone: no person shall be allowed to reside within the zone (the District of Columbia) except federal, State, or municipal officers or agents whose resident presence is deemed necessary by the Board.” Besides the 16th Amendment, this was one of former President Taft's greatest achievements. That is, he surreptitiously coerced every American to join the IRS Country Club by electing to pay federal income taxes. But, by doing so, we all became resident aliens. Resident of what? The District of Columbia. But, as the above code states, no one shall be allowed to reside within the District unless an officer or agent (employee) of the federal government. Brilliant! No one ever called the deceitful government employees dumb!
*The term “national” means a person owing permanent allegiance to a state. (8 USC § 1101(a)(21)
^ States are Countries per Title 28 USCS § 297, wherein it is stated “compact states” in subsection (a) which are then clearly defined as “countries” in subsection (b). Further, the United States is a foreign corporation in relation to these “countries,” which we call States. Also, per the U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual under the section on Nationalities (5.22 and 5.23), demonyms denote nationality. (In other words, the U.S. Government recognizes each state as a nation (country)).
**The United States is located in the District of Columbia per UCC §9-307 (h). It is not the continental United States as we have been taught. The United States is a federal corporation per USC §3002 (15), not a government. There is a government of the United States in name only but it was dissolved (bankrupt) on June 5, 1933. Most often (99% of the time) when the term 'United States' is used, it refers to the corporate counterpart located in D.C.
Even though you are a state national by birth, it is wise to undo the contracts that have been unwittingly signed by each of us (or our parents) thus binding us since the birth of our Certificate of Live Birth. Of course, the fact that the contracts were not understood to be contracts makes them void, but then we must explicitly state such via an affidavit.
We are considered Vessels of the United States
As noted on the United States tab in this website, 18 USC § 9 defines a Vessel of the United States. The term “vessel of the United States”, as used in this title, is a vessel belonging in whole or in part to the United States, or any citizen thereof, or any corporation created by or under the laws of the United States, or of any State, Territory, District, or possession thereof.
In other words, the above US Code means that any citizen of the United States (a.k.a. U.S. Citizen) is property, and belongs in whole or in part to (meaning is owned by) the District of Columbia, the headquarters of the United States Incorporated.
A U.S. Citizen is technically known, by the IRS, as a resident alien.
