tl;dr

Ilhan Omar dismissed Nancy Mace’s proposal to bar foreign-born people from serving in Congress and other federal positions, replying, “Good luck to her.” Mace says the measure would require natural-born citizenship for several offices, but the article says it would require a constitutional amendment and is unlikely to become law.

Ilhan Omar Responds to Nancy Mace's Officeholding Proposal

Nancy Mace proposed a constitutional amendment requiring natural-born citizenship for members of Congress and certain federal roles. Ilhan Omar dismissed the proposal and said she did not expect it to advance. Center outlets present the proposal as affecting foreign-born lawmakers and portray Omar as dismissive. Right-leaning outlets also center her dismissal, but more often add Mace's loyalty accusations or a separate dual-citizenship bill.
