Surely the fact that his grandson served as the prime minister of Canada merits a mention outside of the disambiguation, where it remains uncited? — VORTEX3427 (Talk!) 08:51, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please clarify his Citizenshp and how he was prosecuted in the U.S. under the U.S.'s Neutrality Act.
As of the time I'm typing this, the article says he was "Scottish Canadian-American". Did he have citizenship in the U.S.A.? If not, the bit about prosecuting him under the Neutrality Act could use from clarification. If he's not a U.S. citizen, would the act apply? The Wikipedia article on the Neutrality Act says "... makes it illegal for a United States citizen ...". So, was Mackenzie a U.S. citizen? Then again, it may be that the Wikipedia article on the Act is at fault. Perhaps foreigners COULD be prosecuted under this Act. An argument against that is that presumably foreign citizens living lawfully in the U.S.A. (including acknowledged (i.e. not spies) employees of a foreign government such as ambassadors) could obey their home country's policies and aid their home country in ITS wars even if the U.S.A. were neutral. If Mackenzie was NOT a U.S. citizen, was he in the U.S.A. lawfully? If not, why not just hand him over to the Canadian (i.e. British) authorities? Maybe this prosecution under the Act was not quite legal, for instance if the U.S. did not want to deport him into a death-sentence for treason in Canada, but also wanted to incarcerate him so as to curtail his ability to organize a rebellion in Canada which could result in the British retaliating against the U.S.A..2600:1700:6759:B000:E894:BFCC:705D:880 (talk) 20:22, 4 September 2024 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson[reply]
