50 U.S.C. § 22 — Time allowed to settle affairs and depart
submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-50-WAR-AND-NATIONAL-DEFENSE · 124 words · no verdicts yet
An alien enemy not accused of hostility or another crime gets time to settle affairs and leave the U.S. If a treaty sets that time period, it applies. Otherwise, the President decides a reasonable amount of time.
When an alien who becomes liable as an enemy, in the manner prescribed in section 21 of this title, is not chargeable with actual hostility, or other crime against the public safety, he shall be allowed, for the recovery, disposal, and removal of his goods and effects, and for his departure, the full time which is or shall be stipulated by any treaty then in force between the United States and the hostile nation or government of which he is a native citizen, denizen, or subject; and where no such treaty exists, or is in force, the President may ascertain and declare such reasonable time as may be consistent with the public safety, and according to the dictates of humanity and national hospitality.
