Fine Pushes Omar Expulsion Vote As Dual Citizenship Bill Targets Congress

“The bottom line is that you can’t serve two masters,” Fine said. “If you’re going to serve in the United States Congress, you should serve America ONLY,” he said.

Supporters of the bill argue that dual citizenship presents a potential conflict of interest, particularly for lawmakers with access to classified information. Rep. Andy Harris said the concern extends beyond voting decisions to national security risks tied to sensitive intelligence.

“It’s not just about the vote,” Harris said. “It’s about access to our national security secrets. They get to learn things that people from their home countries would never get to know,” he said.

Harris also pointed to the number of lawmakers born outside the United States, raising questions about whether all prior allegiances have been formally renounced.
