Washington — Republican Senator Bernie Moreno introduced legislation this week that would end dual citizenship in the United States. The Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 would require Americans holding a foreign nationality to relinquish one citizenship or lose U.S. citizenship, and would force future applicants to forfeit U.S. citizenship upon acquiring another. The bill sets a one-year compliance period, requires written renunciations filed with federal departments, and references section 349(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act for enforcement. Moreno framed the proposal as affirming sole allegiance. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
