It is rather bizarre that dual citizens can hold federal office. Why would a country allow such a potentially abusive situation?

Well, he said it last year in Aug 2024.

And I agree with him.

Its too bad he decided to act like a petulant child. The dude seems to have my ideals, but the political strategy savvy of AOC.

He's like that idiot from Texas who started out great but then went on some weird libertarian rabbit hole that turned him into a giant contradiction. Can't recall his name.

Dan Crenshaw, who represents Texas' 2nd Congressional District. That's the same district that was once represented by people like Charlie Wilson (yes, THAT Charlie Wilson, as played by Tom Hanks in Charlie Wilson's War), Jim Turner, and the Honorable Ted Poe. (All three men happen to be Crenshaw's predecessors.)

UofMstateU: Yes. lol

Same as those who allowed a foreigner with a faked birth certificate featuring a font that wasn't even invented until years later on it to become its alleged "prezidon't"...but then you knew that already (as did Trump when he reported onn it back before he ran the first time)...swamp is as swamp does...

They all represented “TX-02”, but the actual territory has changed drastically since then. Wilson and Turner repented rural areas of East Texas. Crenshaw represents (at least now) an overwhelmingly urban/suburban area around Houston and Montgomery Co.

Yes, that's very true. Heck, Ted Poe originally represented parts of Liberty County as well before more redistricting happened. I know because I voted for him a few times before TX 36th was created, which now includes parts of Houston, all of Baytown, Beaumont, and all of Chambers, Hardin, Tyler, Jasper, and Newton Counties, and my home county, Liberty County. Thankfully, we've been represented by Brian Babin for quite some time (since 2015). I hope we keep electing America First Republicans in the near future, too.

Yes, please

I definitely agree with no dual citizenship for Congress; however, I think it should not only be extended to every elected &/or appointed official at any level of government, but to American citizens as well.

No dual citizenship. Pick one and go with it.

Would renouncing another citizenship make this people unsympathetic to their renounced country? I don't think so, they would still be wanting to defend/push that countrys agenda. Unless there's a clear cut view that they're not representing American values and acting treasonous it's a non-point.

They don't have to renounce their home country. They can just be stripped, or preferably denied, US citizenship.

Are there any such people in Congress?

Some countries, like Russia, make it difficult to renounce citizenship.

This is typically viewed as anti semitic because of how many Jews it involves. The ADL is very against this.

It would never be allowed to be enforced. We are hostage to it for now.

Dual Citizenship = A man with two masters

Cannot be loyal to both
