LONG OVERDUE: Republican Nancy Mace Introduces Legislation to Ban Naturalized Citizens Like Ilhan Omar From Serving in Congress
Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina has introduced legislation designed to ban naturalized U.S. citizens from running for the House and Senate, and from holding any position that requires Senate approval.
Having something like this in place would have prevented people like Ilhan Omar, Pramala Jayapal and others from ever running in the first place.
This is long overdue. It’s the type of law that people just kind of assumed already existed but it doesn’t. Every single Republican should get on board with this.

Nancy Mace unveils legislation to ban naturalized citizens – like Ilhan Omar, Pramila Jayapal and Shri Thanedar – from serving in Congress
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.
