CONGRESS MUST BELONG TO AMERICA ALONE
This bill should never have been necessary. From the founding of this
republic, the expectation was crystal clear: THOSE ENTRUSTED WITH
MAKING LAWS FOR THE UNITED STATES MUST OWE THEIR COMPLETE AND
UNDIVIDED LOYALTY TO AMERICA. The Constitution sets basic
qualifications for service in Congress — a minimum age, a period of
U.S. citizenship, and residency in the state represented — but it
stops short of explicitly barring foreign citizenship. In an earlier
era, when assimilation was expected, such a prohibition seemed
unnecessary. Yet today, in a globalized world where anti-American
sentiments and foreign influences have crept into the highest levels
of government, that silence has become a dangerous loophole.
To address this growing concern head-on, Congressman Randy Fine (R-FL)
has stepped forward with the DISQUALIFYING DUAL LOYALTY ACT (H.R.
5817). The legislation is straightforward and uncompromising: it
prohibits any individual holding citizenship in a foreign country from
serving in the United States Congress. CANDIDATES FOR THE HOUSE OR
SENATE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO FORMALLY RENOUNCE ALL FOREIGN CITIZENSHIP
BEFORE BEING ELECTED. This measure reaffirms the sacred principle that
Members of Congress — who vote on war and peace, national security,
immigration policy, and the spending of trillions in taxpayer dollars
— must swear allegiance to the United States and the United States
alone. As Congressman Fine stated, “YOU CAN ONLY SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO
ONE COUNTRY, AND IF YOU’RE IN CONGRESS, THAT ALLEGIANCE SHOULD BE TO
AMERICA.”

The need for this legislation is painfully obvious. While the
Constitution demands seven years of citizenship for House members and
nine for Senators, it does not address the modern reality of dual
nationality. Today, with foreign-born or first-generation members
making up a significant portion of Congress, the risk of divided
loyalties has grown. Lawmakers routinely vote on issues that directly
affect foreign nations — military aid, trade deals, sanctions, and
intelligence matters. When a Member holds a second passport, questions
inevitably arise about whose interests come first in moments of
crisis. AMERICA CANNOT AFFORD REPRESENTATIVES WHO MIGHT HESITATE,
HEDGE, OR QUIETLY ADVOCATE FOR ANOTHER NATION’S PRIORITIES WHILE
DRAWING A SALARY FROM AMERICAN TAXPAYERS AND WIELDING THE POWER OF THE
U.S. GOVERNMENT.
This is not about excluding immigrants or naturalized citizens who
have fully embraced this country. Many foreign-born Americans have
served honorably in Congress after committing wholly to the United
States. The problem lies with those who seek to exploit our system —
gaining entry through our generous immigration and citizenship
policies, rising to positions of influence, and then using that
platform to advance the agenda of their other homeland. History warns
us of the dangers of divided allegiances. THEODORE ROOSEVELT RIGHTLY
CONDEMNED “HYPHENATED AMERICANS” WHOSE PRIMARY LOYALTY REMAINED
ABROAD. In an age of rising global tensions, cyber threats, and
influence operations from adversarial nations, allowing even the
appearance of split loyalty in Congress is reckless. Public trust in
our institutions is already eroded; permitting dual citizens to
legislate for America further undermines confidence that decisions are
made solely in the best interest of the American people.
The Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act closes this gap without ambiguity.
It sends an unmistakable message: IF YOU WISH TO HELP WRITE THE LAWS
THAT GOVERN THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH, YOU MUST FIRST CHOOSE
AMERICA — FULLY, PUBLICLY, AND WITHOUT RESERVATION.
STAND WITH US AS A PATRIOT PARTNER IN OUR $26 FOR 2026 CAMPAIGN TO
PRESERVE AMERICA AND KEEP OUR NATION OUT OF RADICAL HANDS. WE URGENTLY
NEED 500 DEDICATED PATRIOT PARTNERS FUELING OUR EFFORTS AS WE BATTLE
TO DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR VALUES, AND OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE.

This is not extremism. It is basic common sense and a return to the
founding vision of sovereign self-government. TRUE PATRIOTS UNDERSTAND
THAT NATIONAL SECURITY BEGINS WITH THE CHARACTER AND LOYALTY OF THOSE
WHO HOLD POWER. Polite silence has allowed foreign sympathies to
infiltrate too many corners of Washington. IT IS TIME TO DRAW A BRIGHT
LINE.
To help spur action on this critical bill, ACT for America urges our
supporters to contact your Members of Congress immediately and demand
they pass the Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act without delay. CLICK THE
“ACT NOW” BUTTON BELOW TO SEND A POWERFUL MESSAGE TO YOUR ELECTED
OFFICIALS, URGING THEM TO SUPPORT UNDIVIDED AMERICAN ALLEGIANCE IN
CONGRESS.
With your help, we can ensure an America First Congress for future
generations.
