The legislation would prohibit U.S. citizens from possessing foreign citizenship as well.
Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio has introduced the Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025, a bill that seeks to prohibit American citizens from holding dual citizenship. This would require U.S. citizens who currently have dual citizenship of any kind to relinquish either their foreign citizenship or their U.S. citizenship within a year of the bill’s implementation. If a decision is not submitted, applicable individuals “shall be deemed to have voluntarily relinquished United States citizenship.”
The legislation argues that “existing law allows certain United States citizens to maintain foreign citizenship, which may create conflicts of interest and divided loyalties.” Senator Moreno was born in Colombia but later renounced his citizenship.
“Being an American citizen is an honor and a privilege — and if you want to be an American, it’s all or nothing. It’s time to end dual citizenship for good,” Senator Moreno said.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Senator Moreno to have wisdom as he strives to create laws for Americans’ safety and national security.
- For members of the Senate to have clarity as they consider this bill and its implications.
