US EditionGOP Senator Introduces Bill to End Dual Citizenship
The Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 requires Americans with foreign citizenship to renounce one within a year or lose U.S. citizenship, citing concerns over divided loyalties.
- 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.
