Ohio MAGA senator Bernie Moreno has proposed a controversial bill that could impact Melania and Barron Trump’s citizenship status. Moreno, born in Colombia and a U.S. citizen since 18, introduced the ‘Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025,’ which would require dual nationals to relinquish their other citizenship and pledge exclusive allegiance to the U.S.
The bill states that anyone with dual citizenship must choose between the two countries. It would mandate that individuals who voluntarily acquire foreign citizenship after the bill’s enactment relinquish their U.S. citizenship. Moreno emphasized that being an American is an “honor and privilege” that is “all or nothing,” and plans to have the Department of Homeland Security and State Department monitor dual citizens, giving them a year to give up their other nationality or lose U.S. citizenship automatically.
