Ohio senator introduces measure to eliminate dual citizenship

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(WKBN) – Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) has introduced a bill to establish that citizens of the United States “must have sole and exclusive allegiance to the U.S.”

The “Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025” would make it so that no one may be a citizen or national of the U.S. while simultaneously having any foreign citizenship. If passed, a U.S. citizen who voluntarily acquires foreign citizenship would have to relinquish their U.S. citizenship after the date of enactment.

Those who have dual citizenship would have to submit a written renunciation of foreign citizenship to the secretary of State or a written renunciation of U.S. citizenship to the secretary of Homeland Security no later than one year after the enactment of the act.

An individual who doesn’t comply will be deemed to have voluntarily relinquished United States citizenship for purposes of section 349(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the bill states.

3. He should start with himself.

4. How much tax money does the US take in

from dual nationals who work and reside in other countries?
The only country in the world other than Eritrea that taxes dual nationals residing outside the country...
Why would the US give up on this grift?

5. Ohio senator is a racist fucking Nazi.

6. He's a smarmy nasty a$$#ole who rode into office

On a whole bunch of $$ from people who wanted to defeat Sherrod Brown. I detest Moreno. Happy that Sherrod is running against that jerk Jon Husted but I’m afraid the same will happen. Sherrod is a good guy. Ohio needs him back in office.

7. Many wealthy US citizens have dual citizenship. This will go nowhere.

8. Yes, actually I'd like to see how far this will go

Doesn’t Peter Thiel have dual citizenship with New Zealand?

I have a feeling some have basically “bought” another country’s citizenship to hedge geopolitics or in case their tax rate goes up too much, they have a plan B.
