Congressman Randy Fine has introduced the Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act, which would prohibit individuals with foreign citizenship from serving in the US Congress.
Under the proposed bill, candidates for the US House of Representatives or US Senate must renounce any foreign citizenship before being elected.
"I think it’s a fair argument to say you can only swear allegiance to one country, and if you’re in Congress, that allegiance should be to America,"
said Congressman Fine, whose district includes parts of Marion and Lake County.
The measure aims to reaffirm that members of Congress must owe their full allegiance to the United States alone.
