RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — A new bill proposed on Capitol Hill could ban individuals from becoming dual citizens or force them to give up citizenship if they’re already dual citizens.
The Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 was introduced by Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio, but would have nationwide implications. The bill would “Establish that citizens of the United States shall owe sole and exclusive allegiance to the United States.”
That means anyone who is currently a dual citizen with the U.S. and another country would need to forfeit citizenship in one.
If it becomes law and someone becomes a dual citizen afterward, their American citizenship would automatically be revoked.
Already, there are major Constitutional concerns.
“It seems that even if there were a big push for this, that to actually turn it into something that was policy, that withstood court scrutiny, just seems very unlikely,” Steven Greene, a professor at NC State University, said.
Some political experts say the bill is unlikely to get any traction because it has no bipartisan support, and no outward support from the Republican party.
“Bills that are actually going to be successful tend to have a lot of cosponsors, ideally bipartisan support… it’s not something President Trump has been talking about,” Greene said.
But those political experts say the bill’s messaging is clear:
“It is very much just part of a larger political context right now questioning what does it mean to be an American, who is an American, who is a citizen, what does it take to be a citizen?” Greene said.
I get the push to remove dual+citizens out of govt positions but to remove it from normies is way overboard and would be a major fuckup for tons of families, particularly military families with foreign spouses
