GOP Senator Introduces Bill to End Dual Citizenship
The Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 would require dual citizens to choose one nationality within one year or lose U.S. citizenship, aiming to address national security and loyalty concerns.
- On Monday, Sen. Bernie Moreno introduced the Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 to end dual citizenship by forcing a choice or forfeiture; Moreno renounced his Colombian citizenship when he became a U.S. citizen.
- Supporters argue dual citizenship risks create conflicts of interest and divided loyalties, marking a sharp departure from longstanding U.S. government policy and aligning with a minority of countries that ban dual citizenship.
- Enforcement would include requiring renunciation within a statutory timeframe of one year for current dual citizens, with failure deemed voluntary relinquishment of U.S. citizenship by the State Department and Department of Homeland Security.
- Legal experts say the proposal will encounter constitutional challenges citing U.S. Supreme Court precedents, while high-profile dual citizens like Melania Trump, First Lady, and Barron Trump could be affected.
- Practical obstacles include lack of comprehensive records to identify dual nationals, and the proposal could affect millions of Americans with ties abroad, families, inheritances, businesses, and complicate security-clearance processes.
