Constitutional amendment bars foreign-born citizens from congress

Rep. Nancy Mace introduced a constitutional amendment this week that would require members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed appointees to be natural-born citizens.

The proposal mirrors an idea from Daily Wire host Matt Walsh, who in late April called for a “heritage American Bill of Rights” that would prevent first-generation immigrants from serving in Congress. Walsh specifically cited Rep. Ilhan Omar and other foreign-born lawmakers, arguing they have no business “telling Americans how to live their lives.” Mace pointed to the same lawmakers, saying their “loyalty is not here.”
