Reject Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025
This legislation represents an unprecedented assault on the rights of millions of Americans and is fundamentally unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court has clearly established that U.S. citizenship cannot be stripped without voluntary intent. By forcing dual citizens to renounce a nationality within one year or automatically lose their American status, this bill attempts to redefine voluntary intent through arbitrary deadlines—a power Congress does not possess.
Furthermore, the bill is an administrative impossibility. With a current State Department backlog of over 30,000 renunciation cases and a processing capacity of only 5,000 per year, requiring millions to renounce in twelve months is logistically impossible.
The human cost would be devastating. This bill forces families to choose between their American identity and their ability to work, access healthcare, or receive pensions abroad. It unjustly targets "accidental Americans" and imposes massive Exit Tax liabilities on law-abiding citizens.
Dual citizenship has been legal throughout our history and poses no threat to our national security. I urge you to protect the constitutional rights of all Americans by opposing this harmful and unworkable legislation.
