No dual citizens in US Congress: Republican leader's new bill in 'America First' push

Florida Republican Congressman Randy Fine has introduced the Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act of 2025 in a push for America First among politicians. The bill proposes that no person may be elected to the office of Representative of Senator if that person is a national of any country other than the United States.

The person may be a US national but they can't be elected to Congress if they hold the citizenship of any other country, the bill proposes. “I think it’s a fair argument to make that you can only swear allegiance to one country and if you’re in Congress, that allegiance should be to America,” Randy Fine told Breitbart News. Fine’s legislation would not only apply to future candidates but would also require any current member of Congress holding dual citizenship to renounce foreign citizenship if seeking reelection.“People who may have dual citizenship can choose to give it up,” he said. “It’s not that if you’ve ever been a dual citizen” you are prohibited from ever serving, “it’s just as you can’t be one moving forward.”

No official figure on how many dual-citizenship holder are in US Congress

As the members have not been required to disclose foreign citizenship so far, no official roster exists. Fine told Breitbart News that he did not intend to target any particular member of Congress as there is no such list but wants to push back against antisemitic accusations.

“I got tired of the antisemites going after people like me because we’re Jewish, and saying because we’re Jewish, we must be dual citizens,” he told Breitbart News.

“So I was like, all right, fine, I’ll match you and raise you one. You can’t serve if you are one, because I’m not, and I don’t know that any of the Jewish members are. I think this is some fictionalized concern that people have, and let’s call it out. Let’s deal with it.”
