Amandemen konstitusi larang warga negara kelahiran asing duduk di kongres

Anggota DPR Nancy Mace memperkenalkan amandemen konstitusi minggu ini yang akan mewajibkan anggota Kongres, hakim federal, dan pejabat yang dikonfirmasi Senat untuk menjadi warga negara kelahiran asli.

Usulan tersebut mencerminkan gagasan dari pembawa acara Daily Wire Matt Walsh, yang pada akhir April menyerukan "Undang-Undang Hak Warisan Amerika" yang akan mencegah imigran generasi pertama untuk menjabat di Kongres. Walsh secara khusus menyebut anggota DPR Ilhan Omar dan anggota parlemen kelahiran asing lainnya, dengan argumen bahwa mereka tidak berhak "memberi tahu orang Amerika bagaimana cara menjalani hidup mereka." Mace menunjuk pada anggota parlemen yang sama, dengan mengatakan bahwa "kesetiaan mereka bukan di sini."

The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on March 30, 2026, in Trump v. Barbara, challenging President Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants or those on temporary visas. As previously covered, the order—issued January 20, 2025—interprets the 14th Amendment as not granting automatic citizenship in these cases. A ruling, expected in coming months, could impact hundreds of thousands of children born after February 20, 2025.

Republicans in the US Senate plan to vote this week on the SAVE America Act, a bill pushed by President Trump requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. The measure aims to prevent noncitizen voting, described as rare by experts, but could disenfranchise millions lacking documents. Its passage faces hurdles due to the filibuster.

The SAVE America Act, which mandates proof of citizenship for voter registration and ID at polls, passed the House but faces resistance in the Republican-led Senate. President Trump urged its passage in his State of the Union address, yet Majority Leader John Thune has expressed caution over procedural strategies amid ongoing Department of Homeland Security funding issues. Democrats strongly oppose the bill, warning it could disenfranchise millions of voters.

U.S. Congress members returned to Washington this week after a two-week recess, facing a packed agenda including a high-profile Democrat's scandal, an ongoing war with Iran, expiring spy powers, and a prolonged Department of Homeland Security shutdown. Lawmakers must address calls to expel Representative Eric Swalwell, conduct show votes on the Iran conflict, renew FISA Section 702 authority, and resolve funding for the shuttered agency. These issues highlight tensions between parties and constitutional questions over executive actions.

Much of the push for the bill comes from online influencers rather than within the Senate. Internal GOP disputes and other legislative priorities add to the uncertainty.
