Chapter XXVII: Section 1: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of

Representatives of the United States of America in Congress
assembled, That it shall be lawful for the President of the
United States at any time during the continuance of this act,
to order all such aliens as he shall judge dangerous to the
peace and safety of the United States, or shall have
reasonable grounds to suspect are concerned in any treasonable
or secret machinations against the government thereof, to
depart out of the territory of the United States, within such
time as shall be expressed in such order, which order shall be
served on such alien by de·livering him a copy thereof, or
leaving the same at his usual abode, and returned to the
office of the Secretary of State, by the marshal or other
person to whom the same shall be directed. And in case any
alien, so ordered to depart, shall be found at large within
the United States after the time limited in such order for his
departure, and not having obtained a license from the
President to reside therein, or having obtained such license
shall not have conformed thereto, every such alien shall, on
conviction thereof, be imprisoned for a term not exceeding
three years, and shall never after be admitted to become a
citizen of the United States.
{3317}
Provided always and be it further enacted, that if any alien
so ordered to depart shall prove to the satisfaction of the
President, by evidence to be taken before such person or
persons as the President shall direct, who are for that
purpose hereby authorized to administer oaths, that no injury
or danger to the United States will arise from suffering such
alien to reside therein, the President may grant a license to
such alien to remain within the United States for such time as
he shall judge proper, and at such place as he may designate.
And the President may also require of such alien to enter into
a bond to the United States, in such penal sum as he may
direct, with one or more sufficient sureties to the
satisfaction of the person authorized by the President to take
the same, conditioned for the good behavior of such alien
during his residence in the United States, and not violating
his license, which license the President may revoke whenever
he shall think proper.

Section 2. And be it further enacted, That it shall be lawful
for the President of the United States, whenever he may deem
it necessary for the public safety, to order to be removed out
of the territory thereof, any alien who may or shall be in
prison in pursuance of this act; and to cause to be arrested
and sent out of the United States such of those aliens as
shall have been ordered to depart therefrom and shall not have
obtained a license as aforesaid, in all cases where, in the
opinion of the President, the public safety requires a speedy
removal. And if any alien so removed or sent out of the United
States by the President shall voluntarily return thereto,
unless by permission of the President of the United States,
such alien on conviction thereof, shall be imprisoned so long
as, in the opinion of the President, the public safety may
require.
