I get your point. Dual Citizenship isnât a problem unless you work, for example, in the State Department. If your child became a State Department employee handling US/South American trade relations I see a problem.
I see no problem with letting someone who went through to process to become a citizen hold elected office. Banning dual citizens could create an apartheid type system that wouldnât reflect what our country was founded for, a melting pot of many nations. I would be for a minimum number of years being citizen someone would have to have in order to be eligible to hold office.
We shall not limit it to specific portions of our Government. Government as a whole is the scope of this policy. âGovernment Employee/Elected Officialâ
I think itâs vital to clearly see the importance of loyalty to the people of the United States when determining qualifications for federal government positions. Specifying loyalty to the people over loyalty to the government is importantâŚLincolnâs idea of government Of the People, By the People, For the PeopleâŚand therefore government Loyal TO the People.
Maintaining citizenship in another country while holding US citizenship reveals a divided heart, a conflict of interests, a clear possibility of disloyalty to the US. Itâs ok for a regular citizen, but not for US Government.
This should not be remotely controversial. It being so is indicative of its necessity. There is zero reason why anyone responsible for making decisions for our future should be allowed to have a Plan B should their decisions not pan out.
Especially Israel, but also British. Israel has a tendency to slide into the pentagon budget where we canât see them. They think theyâre a special case and donât have to register as agents of a foreign country acting in the best interest of a different country over ours. Israel is a foreign country.
Disagree. If they have US citizenship already, then that means they already demonstrated a degree of loyalty to the USA already. Any US citizen willing to swear an oath to protect and serve the constitution should be eligible for serving in federal office, so long as they meet the other requirements to do so.
I would like to go a step further and suggest that elected officials should swear their oaths with a bible. If they canât place their hand on a bible then they should not be allowed to hold an office. âI pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under GodâŚâ Not Muhammed, Not Allah.
