22 maj 2026

Rapporterad av AI

Representanten Nancy Mace presenterade denna vecka ett grundlagsförslag som skulle kräva att ledamöter i kongressen, federala domare och senatsbekräftade ämbetsinnehavare är födda som amerikanska medborgare.

Förslaget speglar en idé från Daily Wire-programledaren Matt Walsh, som i slutet av april efterlyste en "heritage American Bill of Rights" som skulle förhindra första generationens invandrare från att sitta i kongressen. Walsh nämnde specifikt representanten Ilhan Omar och andra utlandsfödda lagstiftare, med argumentet att de inte har med att göra "hur amerikaner lever sina liv." Mace pekade på samma lagstiftare och sade att deras "lojalitet inte finns här."

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.

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.
