Liberia: Article 28 Not Ambiguous to Multiple Interpretations in Dual Citizenship Saga


A. Teage JallohA. Teage Jalloh, Esq., [email protected], Contributing WriterSome constitutional provisions are ambiguous and subject to multiple interpretations. Second, the language is clear that the Republic recognizes dual citizenship for “such person” up to the age of maturity. When a constitutional provision is clear — as we conclude Article 28 is — the provision’s letter cannot be disregarded under the pretext of pursuing its “spirit”. We submit that there are Liberians who by birth hold the citizenship of the U.S. and other countries. If the answer is “no”, have we been in search of a solution to a “problem” that does not exist?
