Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) unveiled legislation Wednesday aiming to ban foreign-born US citizens from serving in Congress and other high levels of the federal government.
The South Carolina congresswoman singled out Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Shri Thanedar (D-Ill.) and Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) in announcing her joint resolution to add an amendment to the US Constitution that would prohibit naturalized US citizens from becoming federal judges, holding Senate-confirmed positions or serving in the House or Senate.
“All born in foreign countries, none were citizens by birth. All sitting in the United States Congress. All making clear every single day their loyalty is not to America,” Mace said of the trio of Democratic reps.
Mace noted the proposed amendment would impose the “very same standard the President and Vice President are already required to meet” on lawmakers and top government officials.
“The people writing America’s laws, confirming America’s judges, and representing America on the world stage should have one loyalty: America. Not any other country,” she argued.
“For too long we have allowed foreign born members to hold seats in this government while making clear they are America last, not America first,” Mace added. “We see it every day.
“This constitutional amendment will put an end to it.”
Twenty-six House members, including 19 Democrats and seven Republicans, were born outside of the US.
In the upper chamber, six senators – four Democrats and two Republicans – were born outside the US.

The Constitution is very clear about the citizenship requirements for Congress.
If it gets rid of them, works for me
Yes. Born here only.
Crazy woman be lucid.
She should expand it to include banning naturalized citizens serving as federal judges too.
Do. It.
YES.
Good. Shri Thanedar - D - Mich.
Foreigners have absolutely zero authority over me.
Will not comply
Will not obey.
Love it.
The government should formally define a Natural Born Citizen (born on US soil to two parents, both of whom are US citizens at the time of the child’s birth) and then further state that no one can be elected to a federal office unless they are an NBC. And I’d like this extended to all judges as well.
Same for judges. I like this idea.
This would be great. It will go nowhere.
+++👍
Federal Judges should be natural born citizens as well.
Lets do it. Sick of these commie SOB’s supporting other nations. America first, always.
Not even naturalized citizens who joined the military and were higher in rank?
Hypothetically, of course.
It would be interesting to know how many judges are naturalized citizens. I suspect that the percentage is quite high.
From Article I Section 2
“No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.”
I don’t read into that any prohibition against additional requirements being enacted legislatively by Congress.
