Nancy Mace plans to introduce a constitutional amendment requiring natural-born citizenship for members of Congress, federal judges and certain executive branch officials. The proposal would face demanding approval and ratification requirements and could affect naturalized citizens serving in government.
Mace plans to introduce a joint resolution extending the natural-born-citizen requirement to members of Congress, federal judges and Senate-confirmed executive branch officials. She said people who hold power in government should be natural-born citizens and specifically cited Rep. Ilhan Omar, who was born in Somalia and became a U.S. citizen in 2000. Mace also alleged that Omar’s loyalty was not to the United States; those claims were attributed to Mace.
