South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace has a few of her Democratic colleagues in mind with a new proposed amendment to the United States Constitution.
On Wednesday, Mace announced via social media platform X a joint resolution in Congress for members of the body, as well as judges, and positions subject to Senate confirmation to be born in the United States.
She mentioned three Democrats specifically as inspiration for this resolution: Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar, and Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal.
Omar is from Somalia, while Thanedar and Jayapal are both from India.
“Ilhan Omar. Shri Thanedar. Pramila Jayapal. All born in foreign countries, none were citizens by birth. All sitting in the United States Congress. All making clear every single day their loyalty is not to America,” Mace said.
“We just introduced a long overdue joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment to require Members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers to be natural born citizens.”
Mace wisely pointed out that the president and vice president cannot be from another country.
Why should other officers in government be any different? This is the very same standard the President and Vice President are already required to meet.
“The people writing America’s laws, confirming America’s judges, and representing America on the world stage should have one loyalty: America. Not any other country. For too long we have allowed foreign born members to hold seats in this government while making clear they are America last, not America first. We see it every day,” Mace said.
“This constitutional amendment will put an end to it.”
