It's told by Thomas More at the end of his History of Richard III (c.1525): a fable that the lion announces execution of all horned beasts, and another with a lump on its forehead flees the forest: "Why fleest thou? That's no horn on thy head" "Aye, but what if he call it a horn, where am I then?"

It's true. I checked here.

Not to mention that you shouldn't have to prove you are a citizen; the government should have to prove that you're not.

Without due process, the government doesn't have to prove anything. It can just make the claim, and then act on the claim.
