This bill proposes to change the U.S. Constitution so that no one with citizenship or loyalty to another country can hold certain high-level positions in the U.S. government. This includes roles like Representatives, Senators, Supreme Court judges, Ambassadors, and the President or Vice President. The change would only allow such people to serve if they give up their foreign citizenship or loyalty permanently.

If passed, this bill would impact people who currently hold or may in the future hold these positions and have dual citizenship or loyalty. It aims to ensure that those serving in these important roles are fully committed to the United States.

The bill was introduced on June 3, 2026, and was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration. Its status is currently under review, and no further actions have been taken yet.
