Fine Pushes Omar Expulsion Vote As Dual Citizenship Bill Targets Congress

Fine and Harris specifically cited Omar and another state-level lawmaker as examples of officials they believe may prioritize foreign interests. Fine argued that some Democrats have demonstrated that U.S. interests are not their top priority, though he did not provide specific evidence to support that claim.

The proposed legislation would apply to both chambers of Congress and would require lawmakers to relinquish any foreign citizenship to remain in office. However, the measure faces significant obstacles in the Senate, where Democrats hold control and have shown little interest in advancing similar proposals.

“The Senate will never, ever pass it,” Harris said. “But we want to get it done […] it’s about Americans first,” he said.
