Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, responded to a proposed GOP resolution that would prevent foreign-born individuals from serving in Congress. Omar expressed indifference to the proposal, stating, "Good luck to her," when asked for her opinion. The proposal, announced by Rep. Nancy Mace, a Republican from South Carolina, aims to amend the Constitution to require that all members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers be natural-born citizens, similar to the requirements for the presidency. Mace highlighted Omar, along with two other lawmakers, as examples of foreign-born individuals in Congress, asserting concerns about their loyalty to the U.S. Omar, who became a naturalized citizen in 2000, indicated she does not believe the legislation will pass. Mace emphasized the need for natural-born citizens in positions of power, while noting that the amendment would require significant legislative support to succeed. Additionally, Omar was questioned about another proposal by Rep. Randy Fine, a Republican from Florida, which seeks to disqualify individuals with dual citizenship from serving in Congress. Fine stated that his legislation aims to ensure lawmakers are fully committed to the U.S.
