"After a US Senator sparked uproar by introducing a bill that would eliminate the possibility of dual citizenship for American citizens, we want to hear from US nationals in Europe. Would you give up your US passport to be European? Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio introduced the bill to the Senate on December 1st that if passed into law would effectively eliminate the possibility of having dual citizenship for Americans."
"Moreno's "Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025" would establish that US citizens "shall owe sole and exclusive allegiance to the United States," according to a text of the bill. The proposed law would require any Americans who have already gained dual citizenship in a European country to renounce their European passport or else give up their citizenship to the US. Many Americans have dismissed the bill as fanciful, publicity-seeking and against the constitution."
A US senator introduced legislation that would eliminate the possibility of dual citizenship for American citizens. The bill was introduced to the Senate on December 1st and aims to prevent Americans from holding both US and European citizenship. The Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 would establish that US citizens shall owe sole and exclusive allegiance to the United States. The proposed law would require Americans who already hold European dual citizenship to renounce their European passport or forfeit US citizenship. Many Americans called the bill fanciful, publicity-seeking, and unconstitutional. The measure could affect large numbers of people, including dual nationals such as First Lady Melania Trump. A survey asks US nationals in Europe whether they would relinquish US passports to become solely European citizens.
