Bill > HR5817

This bill, titled the "Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act of 2025," proposes to prohibit any individual who holds citizenship in a country other than the United States from being elected to Congress, specifically to the offices of Representative or Senator. The legislation applies to all candidates regardless of whether they are also U.S. citizens, effectively creating a strict eligibility requirement that would bar dual citizens from serving in the legislative branch. By preventing individuals with foreign citizenship from becoming members of Congress, the bill aims to address potential concerns about divided loyalties or conflicts of interest that might arise from holding citizenship in multiple countries. If passed, this would represent a significant change to current congressional eligibility requirements and could potentially impact candidates with international backgrounds or family connections.
