why do you need a passport to leave?

Because, we in the rest of the world like to know we can send you back, same as anyone else.

Well, first of all, I don't give a shit about the rest of the world. What I want to know is why is it a U.S. crime for me to leave the country without a passport?

Because if you wish to leave the U.S. the only other place is the rest of the world. If you pitch up in our part of the planet, i.e. most of it, without a guarantee that we can get rid of you, we will kick up a stink that your government could do without.

Never argue with Bob the Baptist, my friend.

United States passport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"United States passports are passports issued to citizens and non-citizen nationals of the United States of America. They are issued exclusively by the U.S. Department of State. Besides issuing passports (in booklet form), also limited use passport cards are issued by the same organization subject to the same requirements. It is unlawful to enter or exit the United States without a valid passport."
