The issue with Congress are the ones that hold dual citizenship. You are American or you are the enemy of America. We are Americans not Italian American, not African American, not Israeli American so on and so on. I have a heritage that goes back to England and Scotland and I love that part of me but I am American first. If you are not American and proud then you need to go back to the country you identify with most because that is where your true loyalty is.
You know Barron and Melania Trump hold dual citizenship with the US and Slovenia.
Does that pose a problem for you, that Donald Trump's wife and youngest son are enemies of America?
Edited to add:
Look at those downvotes. Now why would people be upset at this post? I'm not the one who said people of dual citizenship were enemies of America. And I'm certainly not responsible for Barron and Melania Trump having dual citizenship in America and Slovenia.
Is it a "shooting the messenger" issue? I think that must be it.
I'm wondering how long this post will stay up before someone goes crying to the babysitters because I hurt their feelings with facts.
The attitude shown here isn't only limited to those holding office.
Do you really think that the wife and son of the President of the United States can't sway the President on public matters? That they don't hold any influence?
I would think they hold just as much influence in shaping policy as others holding public office, if not more.
If a Democrat president's wife held dual citizenship with, say, Mexico or Israel, can you honestly say you wouldn't have an issue with that?
There is a requirement to hold office. Unless barred by the constitution or laws, all other familial ties and influences should be part of public discourse and the individual voters.
We can play the "What if" game all day but our President Trump was constitutionally elected. The 80+ congressmen and women with dual citizenships are illegal.
If you want to barr people from holding office because of familial ties, submit that bill into law, and just hope that it doesn't bar good Americans from office while criminals get away like always.
I like that you are critically thinking about President Trump's possible foreign influences but I can't help but believe that you are trying to sow doubt within our community. We can judge the worth of this man by all of his good deeds and that is many.

Are they holding office? Hmm?
