The courts, all the way to the top, have consistently interpreted the Constitution as a document that circumscribes the behavior of the government, not as a document that grants privileges to "the people" or a subset of that (e.g. citizens only).

Might apply to people outside of US too, given that Maduro is being tried in NY for drug and firearm charges while never having set foot in US before.
