Non-citizen becoming US citizen should have to revoke all other citizenships / passports / privileges. It's literally in the oath to become a citizen.

Natural-born US citizen obtaining passport from another country… I have no issue with that but it should disqualify you from holding any public officer, serving in military, and particularly serving in Congress, etc.

Loyalty and allegiance matter. We should be much stricter, more forceful here.

Isn't Baron Trump a dual citizen?

Both Barron and Melania both hold dual citizenship. They both also hold Slovenian citizenship

Pick a side.

You're either American or non-American.



Heck, even some Americans are non-American, so it might be a mute point.

---

Why? We are American. We demand the most possible. Let's get the best out of two worlds. Dual citizenship holders don't threaten us or our sovereignty in any way.

Where is this weird loyalty litmus test coming from? A GOP congress critter stirring the pot for his trailer park constituents or something? This dude just wants headlines. What a waste of time.

Choosing the county you have alleigence to is not a weird litmus test.

Pick a country. It's not hard.

You can't be a citizen of two states, how does multiple counties make any sense?

It's globalism nonsense.

What in the hell is this going to solve? Dual citizenship holders are not the issue we need to be focusing on. This is just dumb and a waste of time and bandwidth.

Guessing some congresscritter's pet project to make themselves look good or something?

---

If you could show me that most dual citizens vote Democrat and we if could influence them to choose their other country, then this helps decrease the number of communists here.

---

There is only one tried and trued method for defeating communism. Outright violence.

There is only one tried and trued method for preventing communism. Early education and exposure to the world's events and history.

This....this is pointless. And I imagine I am probably one of the stronger "Better dead than red" people on this board.

Why not? All I see is "CAN'T" on this thread without any actual why. You make this statement with the tone of fact. And yet, we have it as we speak. We have for our entire history AFAIK, and certainly our lifetimes. Just like pretty much every other country on this world. You are trying to deny actual fact here.

How does having citizenship in two countries = globalism nonsense? I'm genuinely asking this question as I don't see it, at all.

Wow. lol.

Can't they just grandfather it so it only applies to new citizens?

No, the dude who introduced it made sure the bill stipulates one year grace period for existing holders to declare one or the other.

This is absolute performative BS that has no real hope of passing. If we are going to call out nonsense grandstanding, we need to call it both ways. Well, I do anyways.

Also, it bears noting that the vast majority of Americans today, have not made any official oaths or pledges of allegiances whatsoever. To any country.

In no shape, fashion, or form was that ever performed in an official manner or was recognized as such. I did, yes. Both US and Texas.

By default it's Slovenia if they have dual. Confusing post.

I'm a proud dual citizen--American and TEXAN.

Dual Citizenship is a big deal in Israel and they seem to hold a lot of sway.

They certainly maintain heavy leverage over our government.

My wife and my kids all have dual citizenship, so I have mixed feelings over this.

Zohran Mamdani is a dual citizen of the United States and Uganda.

Birth and Early Life: He was born in Kampala, Uganda, and moved to the U.S. at age seven.

Naturalization: He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2018.

Controversy: During his mayoral run, criticsincluding former Governor Andrew Cuomoquestioned why he maintained Ugandan citizenship given the country's anti-LGBTQ+ laws. Some Republicans also made unsuccessful calls for his denaturalization.

As of January 2026, Mamdani serves as the Mayor of New York City.

No one is saying that they should lose their US citizenship. They should choose one based on where their true loyalty lies.

The oath of allegiance is pretty clear...I'm surprised dual allegiance was EVER allowed.
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."

Mandela effect! Does anyone else remember dual citizenship not being allowed? I think we've been gas lighted into thinking it's ok for the last two decades...

As long as US citizens fulfill all obligations of citizenship including paying all taxes, obeying the law, etc., I don't care if they also have citizenship in another country.

My son is marrying a British girl who's been here since a child and long ago became a naturalized US citizen, along with her parents. She also holds British citizenship from birth. I don't see a problem with that.

---

So they lied when they took the oath to become citizens renouncing allegiance to other nations?

---

Citizenship does not necessarily mean allegiance. You don't swear allegiance to the United States the second you're born, but you are a citizen with all the rights and privileges thereof. It's the same for dual citizens. They can swear allegiance to the United States while still maintaining all the rights and privileges of being a citizen in their country of birth. They're not mutually exclusive.

I could have sworn growing up (1960s-1970s), that a US citizen might've had dual citizenship (by birth) with another country--up to age of majority--but was then required to choose one to keep. I may have faulty memory though.

I knew quite a few foreign nationals (not dual citizens) serving with me in the US Army in the mid 1980s. I am pretty sure, however, that a person normally cannot hold a security clearance as a dual citizen.

My dad was a pipeline engineer in the early 1960s, and he almost took a job in Australia. At the time, however, Australia required immigrants to give up their home country citizenship and become Australians. My parents decided against the move due to this requirement. Australia wanted people committed to their new country. <sarcasm> How strange?<sarcasm>

It is time to redefine or clarify what "citizenship" actually means.

This bill won't get far and by itself is unconstitutional. The government can not force you to give up your American citizenship especially if you were born here to American citizens. Plus what penalties would they give you for keeping a foreign passport/citizenship. They already tax you on any income or you make in another country like interest income from accounts or rental income.

For disclaimer purposes I am considering getting Greek citizenship for me and my son since my parents were born there and we have family properties.

What about those of us born as citizens of multiple nations?

Realistically, what can America do to me if I don't give up my other citizenship since I am a natural born citizen?

Probably nothing except cancel your US Passport or flag it somehow maybe? Other than that small possibility, I've got nothing unless the legislation specifies some form of consequences for non-compliance. A fine or something?
