Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025
To establish that citizens of the United States shall owe sole and exclusive allegiance to the United States, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill prohibits United States citizens from simultaneously holding foreign citizenship. A U.S. citizen who voluntarily acquires foreign citizenship after the bill's enactment is automatically deemed to have relinquished U.S. citizenship. Individuals who already possess both U.S. and foreign citizenship have one year after enactment to choose either to renounce their foreign citizenship or their U.S. citizenship; failure to do so results in automatic relinquishment of U.S. citizenship. The Secretaries of State and Homeland Security are required to establish procedures for verification, recordkeeping, and coordination regarding these citizenship changes.
