Let him know about the status issue. There is no "law" because when you own someone, you also own everything they own and anything they make via work.
Since the government doesn't want to dole out toilet paper and food, they let you keep a little bit.
Specifically what I am talking about is being a U.S. Government citizen, or citizen (lower case "c") of (meaning belonging to) the United States (a government entity, not the "geographic" sense as in a map of the states of the union).
It's a status issue, either you are one of theirs or you aren't. Picture it as the same as when you sign up for military service, at that point they own your body.
The movie doesn't talk about this because it's hard to explain.
Just ask yourself who is the United States? United States District Court, who's court? United States District Atty, who's atty? Etc...
Lots more info online if you look.
The government has no duty to tell you what you can contract to do, if you want to give your body to them, who are they to say no?
