Mace Unveils Amendment Limiting Congress, Judges to Natural-Born Citizens
- On Wednesday, Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace proposed a constitutional amendment requiring members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers to be natural-born citizens.
- Targeting Ilhan Omar , Pramila Jayapal , and Shri Thanedar , Mace claimed foreign-born officials make clear "every single day their loyalty is not to America," without providing evidence for the allegation.
- The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus warned the amendment would force out Republicans including Bernie Moreno and Victoria Spartz , while Jayapal condemned it as "xenophobic legislation."
- The proposal could affect more than a dozen members of Congress, though 19 foreign-born lawmakers exist; some remain eligible as natural-born citizens due to having at least one parent who is a US citizen.
