Foreign Citizens Should Never Be Allowed
To Serve In American Government

Original Article

Posted By: Mercedes44, 9/4/2025 3:51:04 AM

It does not matter if individuals become naturalized citizens of the United States, so long as they retain the citizenship from wherever they came, they should not be allowed to serve in the American government. Either they renounce their foreign citizenship, or stop serving in our government. And, it is more preferable that they self-deport if they feel strongly about keeping the other citizenship. As founder John Jay expressed in 1787, “Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government.”

Best would be to expel them from government, or the USA really. But as a start, divide their votes by the number of citizenships they hold; since they clearly have divided loyalties.

Those fuzzy little foreigners who became American citizens and got elected to office have done a mountain of damage to the country, especially those in the judicial system. There are quite a few who have done a lot of good, but those who oppose the American way of life have caused so much trouble, this practice definitely needs addressed.

Which is why a presidential candidate must be born of TWO NATURAL BORN CITIZENS of the USA. It’s because of loyalty. Another is a person who wants to become a citizen must pass a test. No president should be allowed to give amnesty to anyone. Again. Loyalty

Well Thank You!! I have been singing that Song for a long time. It seems to me we are very Stupid to allow a Foreigner to make the Rules we American's live by. Maybe the folks in NY should wake up to that fact before they are ruled by someone who doesn't even speak our Language like an American! Trump should push that Rule through Congress and get it passed. Then boot out ALL of those in Both Houses immediately! They hate our Country and are not afraid to say so loud and Clear. Throw them out!

If only. The fact that foreigners in the form of fake palestinians, communists, Somali refugees, Africans of all stripes from third world cultures and hispanics taking the side of hispanic countries, cause as many problems as the illegal alien immigrants in our population. I'm sure the Constitution would have included that language if our founders had known that leaders a few hundred years in the future would be stupid enough to allow other countries to participate in our government.

As far as Federal Judges are concerned it should be up to Congress, since Congress created the Federal Courts, to fix that situation where a Federal Judge who holds foreign citizenship can now issue court orders telling the elected President of the USA what he or she can do or not do, including apparently matters connected to national security. You know that the Biden crew has been nominating and the congressional Democrats have been confirming such leftist Democrat Judges as a part of their DEI initiatives. Such Judges no doubt, should be held to the same native born citizenship requirements as Presidents of the USA.

Sometimes the issue of so-called derivative foreign citizenship as it relates to native born US citizens can be complicated, with the native born US citizen not even knowing that he or she is considered to be such a duel citizen under the laws of the foreign country(s) where his or her parent(s) were born. That usually occurs after a native born US citizen’s parent or parents were born in a foreign country and then sometime later immigrated, either illegally or legally to the USA, with the law of that foreign country granting automatic derivative citizenship to offspring of the parents. Sometimes that even extends to the grandchildren of such foreign born people. As an example, I recently ran into a situation where a man who was an immigrant in the USA during 1886, applied for and was granted naturalized US citizenship. After living in the USA for a decade, he returned to his country of birth because he inherited property there. While there he married, had a number of children born there before 1922, and passed away while still retaining naturalized US citizenship. Apparently before 1922 children born abroad to a US citizen father were considered to be derivative US citizens under US Nationality law. About 1927 one of his foreign born daughters came to the USA as a young adult with a legal immigrant visa. Under the US Naturalization laws of that time based upon the fact that her father was a naturalized US citizen, she was given a certificate of US citizenship, married a native born US citizen, had a number of children born in the USA, and passed away in the USA. Years later her children found out that since their mother was born in that foreign country that under the laws of that country, that is friendly to the USA, that they are considered to be citizens of that foreign country, did not have to apply for that foreign citizenship, and could easily apply for a passport of that country on-line by submitting a passport application supported by their mother’s foreign civil birth certificate showing that she was born in that foreign country along with their US civil birth certificate showing that she was their mother. Specifically, but not related to the people above, I understand that people born in the USA to Mexican citizens in the USA both illegally and legally, under the Mexican Constitution are considered to be Mexican citizens, that includes millions of people, and currently under US law they are considered to be US citizens because of their birth in the USA. So you can see from these examples that so-called duel citizenship situations can be pretty complicated! Should such a US born individual be able to serve in any US Government position?

I'll go a step further: if foreign birth is an automatic disqualifier for POTUS, because it might foster divided loyalties, then it should also be for any other govt job.

This summer, President Trump and Congress have been extremely successful with remaking the American economy to deliver for workers and businesses, passing the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act (OBBB) in July that extends important tax cuts and unleashes American energy. In particular, American energy dominance and independence was a key winner, as numerous provisions repealed Biden-era giveaways to green energy that held back our economy, making energy less reliable and affordable. Yet the OBBB is just the first step for unleashing American energy, and the next step must be comprehensive permitting reform. With these mandates to expand our national energy dominance,

In an unprecedented escalation of Islamist persecution, Jamaat-e-Islami — the Bangladeshi ideological offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) — has begun imposing the jizya tax on Hindus and other non-Muslims, openly declaring its intent to replace the country's secular democratic framework with Islamic sharia law. Backed by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, and linked to global jihadist networks, including Al Qaeda, Jamaat-e-Islami's move comes just months after a coup that brought Muhammad Yunus to power, triggering a rapid rise in radical Islamic influence. This development threatens not only Bangladesh's fragile democracy but also poses a strategic security risk to South Asia and the wider free world.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that 26 of Ukraine’s allies have pledged to deploy troops as a “reassurance force” for the war-torn country once fighting ends in the conflict with Russia. Macron spoke after a meeting in Paris of the so-called “coalition of the willing,” a group of 35 countries who support Ukraine. He said that 26 of the countries had committed to deploying troops in Ukraine — or to maintaining a presence on land, at sea, or in the air — to help guarantee the country’s security the day after a ceasefire or peace is achieved.

President Trump announced — and celebrated — that Delta Air Lines revised its manuals to use “Gulf of America” for the body of water spanning Florida to Mexico in line with his executive order renaming the marginal sea. The president shared a screen grab on Truth Social of an apparent “Revision Highlights Airway Manual” on official Delta letterhead, which Trump claimed he received from a Delta captain. Key changes in the manual show that “Gulf of Mexico” is switched to “Gulf of America” and “Notice to Air Mission” is revised to “Notice to Airmen.”

One of the bitter fruits of President Joe Biden’s single term in office is this: An administration obsessed with policies designed to reduce income inequality actually widened the gap between rich and poor. That’s the conclusion from Unleash Prosperity’s advance analysis of Census Bureau data on household incomes through the end of 2024. These Census Bureau income numbers include business income, investment income, dividends, wages, salaries and most cash government welfare benefits, including Social Security. Our chart (below) shows what happened with middle-class incomes over the 48 months of President Donald Trump’s first term (2017-21), as compared to the subsequent Biden term (2021-25).

Cracker Barrel suffered a hit to sales after it unveiled its “woke” new logo – which faced heated backlash from customers online and even President Trump. Starting Aug. 19, the day after the logo was revealed, transactions slowed at Cracker Barrel restaurants, according to debit and credit card data from Bloomberg Second Measure, a data analytics provider. That sales decline gained steam through Aug. 26 as diners slammed the new logo – a modern, sleek reimagining that erased an illustration of beloved folksy farmer Uncle Herschel. Other full-service restaurants showed mixed results during the same period, in a sign that Cracker Barrel’s sudden downturn was due to brand damage, according to Bloomberg.

The Joe Biden autopen fiasco isn’t over, and it never went away. It just went dormant for a bit, but we knew something was going to drop, and it has. President Joe Biden signed a trove of clemency petitions before he shuffled out of the White House. There are concerns that he wasn’t cogent or even aware of what he was signing. That issue presented itself with executive orders, as told by Speaker Mike Johnson. The mountain of clemency petitions was navigated by a shoddy chain of command among top Biden staffers, and again, it presented issues about whether Joe Biden was aware of what was going on
