I think we need a law that says rep and sens are not allowed dual citizenship. It sends the wrong message. They should be American, all the way, whether native born or an immigrant. It's just too much power to give someone with fractured loyalties. So many have dual citizenship with Israel, for example. Don't like it. Turkey, like it even less. Ya gotta be 100% for America. If you have foreign ties, don't run to represent America, because you are "tainted" by the other loyalty. Trump would agree with this, I think. It's like a relationship - marriage. No spouse can have a close relationship with someone of the opposite sex and insist that person is "just a friend" . Who is gonna believe that one?? I wouldn't. It is possible that the outsider is just a friend, but it impinges on the marital relationship anyway, and guys, you know how guys think. Women are quite naive on this topic, I find. Men know how men think. Prove me wrong!!!
No immigrants either. Anyone in any political office from dog catcher to President must be a natural born citizen to two parents who have at least thier green cards.
America is for Americans and you must prove you have no divided loyalties. Its too easy to claim citizenship and then subvert from within. I am tired of foreigners telling me what America is about.
Full disclosure: My wife is an immigrant. Across a 30 year path she became a citizen. Im proud of her and she got to vote for the first time in 2020 and voted for Trump. But even though she is a Canadian that lived within 50 miles of the border her entire life, she still only has the most cursory understanding of what America is and means. Even after 35 years of being married to me and living here she still is perplexed by the amount of American flags that fly in front of houses here. I love her and trust her loyalties but I still wouldnt want her to run for office.
I've always thought, apparently falsely, that duel citizenship was not permitted for any American. Why are congress critters, or any law makers, allowed duel citizenship? Did something change and I missed it? (Likely).
There most certainly can be platonic opposite sex genuine friendships without an interest in sex or adultery. In fact, it's healthy for each person in the marriage to have other friends, other connections, and it would be a controlling and weird relationship if they could never socialize or have actual friends with the opposite sex. Or they're just perverts with sex on their mind constantly, with no capability of seeing the opposite sex as anything but a sex object rather than a whole person who you can just be friends with.
I think people have good intentions, but do not always realize how easy it is to fall into sin. Of course there are "platonic" friendships, but usually one of the persons has feelings for the others that remain unspoken. I'm not overthinking this, just working from observation. Men are attracted to women, and women are attracted to men. If nothing happens, it's usually because one of them doesn't feel "that way."
I dunno what to tell you. I just don't see every woman in my life as a potential sex partner/object, and instead value their friendship. I can tell you just as much observation that platonic friends with no intention to seek out a relationship and no attraction happen constantly. It's just a matter of not viewing all women as potential mates "if things would just go right."

I'm admittedly naive to an extent and I whole heartedly agree about the dual-citizenship. Our reps need to be thoroughly vetted!!

How is it even allowed/even a question. 100%.
I could! But I won't. Obviously you don't know how women think, and not ALL guys think alike. If you are married, I feel for your wife.
You know Russia has laws for that now.
