Constitutional amendment requiring federal officials to renounce foreign citizenship or allegiance to serve.
The problem
Concerns that federal officials with ties to other countries may face conflicts of interest or divided loyalty when making decisions affecting U.S. national interests.
The proposal
Amends Constitution to bar anyone with citizenship, nationality, or allegiance to another country from serving in Congress, courts, diplomatic posts, or executive roles unless they formally renounce foreign status.
The impact
Naturalized citizens and dual citizens seeking federal office or judicial appointments would need to renounce foreign citizenship. Foreign-born Americans in government would face new eligibility restrictions.
Supporters argue federal officials should have exclusive loyalty to the United States without competing obligations to other nations. This could strengthen confidence that leaders prioritize American interests in sensitive decisions involving national security or foreign policy.
Provides explicit constitutional language about what dual citizenship means for federal service. Creates a clear standard so there is no confusion about eligibility requirements for public office.
Eliminates situations where officials might face pressure from foreign governments or have financial interests tied to other countries. Could reduce risks in sensitive positions like military leadership, intelligence, or judiciary.
Naturalized American citizens would face stricter requirements than natural-born citizens. Many countries do not allow easy renunciation of citizenship, making this requirement impossible for some despite being loyal Americans.
Could discourage talented immigrants and dual citizens from seeking federal positions. May reduce representation of communities with international family ties or cultural backgrounds in courts and elected offices.
Government would need systems to verify foreign citizenship renunciation and monitor compliance. Some countries make renunciation difficult or time-consuming, creating practical implementation challenges.
Some foreign countries recognize automatic citizenship at birth or limit renunciation options. The amendment could conflict with international agreements about how citizenship is handled between nations.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
