Moar. NO DUAL CITIZENSHIP for ELECTED FRAUDSTERS
Plz anon. Many are open about it when talking about a certain "country". I look for it. May not be this bread. This anon has to werk today to pay for Zimbawes Granny's
GROK; Moar digs required because IT"S NOT TOTALLY DENIED:
The exact number of members of Congress who are dual citizens with another country is not publicly known because there is no requirement for members of Congress to disclose such information. Discussions and claims about dual citizenship among members of Congress often circulate online and in various publications, but they can be misleading or based on outdated information.
Here are some key points based on available information:
No Official Tracking: There is no official tracking or public disclosure requirement for dual citizenship among members of Congress. Thus, any specific numbers cited should be treated with caution.
Notable Examples: Historical examples include Senator Ted Cruz, who was a dual citizen with Canada until he renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014, and Representative Michele Bachmann, who held dual citizenship with Switzerland until she renounced it in 2012.
Legislation: There have been attempts to introduce legislation, like the Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act, which would require candidates for federal office to disclose if they hold citizenship in another country, but it has not passed.
Misinformation: There are frequent claims, particularly around social media, suggesting large numbers like "89 members of Congress hold dual citizenship with Israel," which have been debunked by fact-checking organizations like PolitiFact as false or exaggerated.
Dual Citizenship Laws: Dual citizenship can occur through various means, including birthright, naturalization, or through the citizenship laws of other countries (like Israel's Law of Return), but possessing dual citizenship does not automatically mean one holds citizenship of another country actively or knowingly.
Given these points, while it's certain that some members of Congress might hold dual citizenship, the precise number is not publicly documented or verified. Any specific figure you encounter online or in informal discussions should be approached with skepticism unless backed by clear, recent, and authoritative sources.
