"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. They believe it could never pass, given how many people it would impact - including the First Lady Melania Trump who is a dual Slovenian- American national. But we want to hear from our American readers about the issue of dual citizenship and the challenges of renouncing an American passport."
A Republican senator introduced the Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 on December 1st to eliminate the possibility of dual citizenship for Americans. The bill would establish that US citizens shall owe sole and exclusive allegiance to the United States. Under the proposal, Americans who already hold a European dual nationality would be required to renounce their European passport or forfeit US citizenship. Many Americans have dismissed the bill as fanciful, publicity-seeking and unconstitutional, noting the large number of people it would affect, including high-profile dual nationals. Readers are invited to complete a survey about dual citizenship and renouncing US passports.
