Rep. Nancy Mace proposes constitutional amendment to bar naturalized citizens from Congress and federal judgeships
South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace filed a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment that would prohibit foreign-born, naturalized U.S. citizens from serving in Congress, as federal judges, or in Senate-confirmed positions. Mace specifically named foreign-born Democratic representatives Ilhan Omar, Shri Thanedar, and Pramila Jayapal in her announcement. The targeted Democrats responded by denouncing the proposal as xenophobic and un-American.
