Natural Born Members and Judges
A House Republican introcuces an amendment that judges and members of congress can only be natural-born U.S. citizens.
This report from Correspondent Bernie Bennett.
VERBATIM:
South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace proposes a constitutional amendment prohibiting naturalized citizens from serving in Congress, becoming federal judges or holding Senate-confirmed positions.
In a Wednesday statement shared on X, Mace says she introduced a “long overdue joint resolution” for the constitutional amendment, noting, “This is the very same standard the President and Vice President are already required to meet.”
Mace, who’s running for governor, suggests that U.S. officials born in other countries could have split loyalties.
