Emenda constitucional proíbe cidadãos nascidos no exterior de ocupar cargos no Congresso

A deputada Nancy Mace apresentou esta semana uma emenda constitucional que exigiria que membros do Congresso, juízes federais e nomeados confirmados pelo Senado sejam cidadãos natos.

A proposta reflete uma ideia do apresentador do Daily Wire, Matt Walsh, que no final de abril pediu uma "Declaração de Direitos da Herança Americana" que impediria imigrantes de primeira geração de servir no Congresso. Walsh citou especificamente a deputada Ilhan Omar e outros legisladores nascidos no exterior, argumentando que eles não têm autoridade para "dizer aos americanos como viver suas vidas". Mace apontou para os mesmos legisladores, afirmando que a "lealdade deles não está aqui".
