8 U.S.C. § 1489 — Application of treaties; exceptions
submitted 74 years ago by ch. 477 to r/title-8-ALIENS-AND-NATIONALITY · 121 words · no verdicts yet
This subchapter cannot override certain earlier Senate-ratified treaties or conventions. It also protects specified women from losing nationality solely because of marriage or related residence abroad.
Nothing in this subchapter may be applied against a treaty or convention to which the United States is a party and that the Senate ratified before December 25, 1952. However, a woman who was a U.S. national is not considered to have lost nationality solely because she married an alien* on or after September 22, 1922, married an alien racially ineligible for citizenship on or after March 3, 1931, or, if she was a U.S. citizen at birth, lived abroad after such a marriage, despite any existing treaty or convention.
Nothing in this subchapter shall be applied in contravention of the provisions of any treaty or convention to which the United States is a party and which has been ratified by the Senate before December 25, 1952: Provided, however, That no woman who was a national of the United States shall be deemed to have lost her nationality solely by reason of her marriage to an alien* on or after September 22, 1922, or to an alien racially ineligible to citizenship on or after March 3, 1931, or, in the case of a woman who was a United States citizen at birth, through residence* abroad following such marriage, notwithstanding the provisions of any existing treaty or convention.
