    • 2021 January 5,J. Michael Luttig,Twitter‎[2], archived fromthe original on5 January 2021; republished asWashington Post‎[3], 2021 January 5:
      The only responsibility and power of the Vice President under the Constitution is to faithfully count the electoral college votes as they have been cast.
      The Constitution does not empower the Vice President to alter in any way the votes that have been cast, either by rejecting certain of them or otherwise.
      How the Vice President discharges this constitutional obligation is not a question of hisloyalty to the President any more than it would be a test of a President’sloyalty to his Vice President
      whether the President assented to the impeachment and prosecution of his Vice President for the commission of high crimes while in office.
      No President and no Vice President would—or should—consider either event as a test of politicalloyalty of one to the other.
      And if either did, he would have to accept that politicalloyalty must yield to constitutional obligation.
      Neither the President nor the Vice President has any higherloyalty than to the Constitution.
    • 2021 March 15, Jessie Yeung, “These Asian countries are giving dual citizens an ultimatum on nationality – and loyalty”, inCNN‎[4]:
      One reason why many Asian countries oppose dual nationality is a belief that it can create dividedloyalties among citizens, said Jelena Dzankic, co-director of the Global Citizenship Observatory (GLOBALCIT), an international citizenship research network.[…] Japan drafted its current nationality laws shortly after World War II, when many Japanese Americans were put in internment camps in the US; other dual citizens renounced theirloyalty to the Japanese Emperor for their own safety, said Atsushi Kondo, a law professor at Japan’s Meijo University.
