US Bill Proposes Ending Dual Citizenship
A US senator named Bernie Moreno wants to pass a new law called the Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025.
This law would make people who have citizenship in the US and another country choose just one.
They would have one year to decide.
If they don't, they would lose their US citizenship.
Right now, the US allows people to have citizenship in more than one country.
Senator Moreno thinks this could cause problems, so he wants to change the rule.
Other lawmakers have tried to limit dual citizenship before, but this is a new attempt.
Senator Bernie Moreno proposes the Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 to end dual citizenship in the US.
The bill requires US citizens with dual citizenship to choose between the US and their other citizenship within a year.
Non-compliance would result in the automatic loss of US citizenship.
The State Department and DHS would be responsible for tracking and enforcing the new rule.
The bill argues that dual citizenship creates conflicts of interest and divided loyalties.
