Massie and several GOP colleagues push proposal to require dual citizenship disclosure by political candidates

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., told Fox News Digital in a statement on Monday that he does not believe individuals with citizenship in foreign nations should serve in the nation's legislature.

"Personally, I don't think dual citizens should serve in Congress, but I ultimately decided to introduce a transparency bill requiring full disclosure of citizenship. Voters can then make the decision," he noted.

"At a minimum, they should disclose their citizenship in other countries and abstain from votes specifically benefitting those countries," he added. 

"If we are going to continue to allow Members of Congress to acquire and retain citizenship in other countries, they should at least be required to disclose to voters all countries of which they consider themselves to be citizens," Massie asserted.
