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.

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.
