You know, this guy's beliefs got me thinking about something.
From the first linked article:

Cox claims he and all Americans are sovereigns, or kings and queens, and no one is required to obey laws unless not doing so would directly harm other sovereigns. Many of his claims center on the belief that President Abraham Lincoln subverted the original Constitution and replaced it with a copy that incorporated the United States.

OK, so if Lincoln replaced the original Constitution, this implies that the actions of the US government have been illegitimate since then. The US government purchased Alaska in 1867, after the end of the Lincoln presidency. Therefore, instead of making him a "sovereign", doesn't this make him a citizen of the Russian Federation?
