Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., responded to a proposed GOP resolution that would bar foreign-born individuals from serving in Congress. Omar stated, "Good luck to her," when asked about the legislation. The proposal, announced by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., aims to amend the Constitution to require all members of Congress, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed officers to be natural-born citizens, similar to the requirements for the presidency. Mace specifically mentioned Omar, along with other lawmakers, as examples of foreign-born individuals serving in Congress. Currently, there are 26 members of Congress who are not natural-born citizens. Omar expressed skepticism about the proposal's chances of passing. Mace emphasized the need for loyalty to America from those in power, while Omar dismissed the significance of Mace's comments. Additionally, Omar was asked about another proposal by Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., which would disqualify individuals with dual citizenship from serving in Congress. Fine stated that the bill aims to ensure lawmakers are fully committed to the U.S.
