ナンシー・メイス下院議員は今週、連邦議会議員、連邦裁判官、および上院が承認する公職への就任資格を「出生による市民権保持者」に限定する憲法修正案を提出した。
この提案は、デイリー・ワイヤーのホストであるマット・ウォルシュ氏の考えを反映したものだ。ウォルシュ氏は4月下旬、第一世代の移民が連邦議会で働くことを禁じる「ヘリテージ・アメリカン権利章典」の制定を呼びかけていた。ウォルシュ氏は特にイルハン・オマール下院議員ら外国生まれの議員の名を挙げ、「アメリカ人がどのように生きるべきかを指図する筋合いはない」と主張した。メイス氏も同様の議員らに言及し、「彼らの忠誠心はここ（アメリカ）にはない」と述べた。

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.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated that advancing the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship for voter registration, faces significant procedural hurdles despite pressure from President Donald Trump. 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.
