共和党议员以宪法修正案针对奥马尔后，奥马尔在镜头前作出回应
明尼苏达州民主党众议员伊尔汉·奥马尔在被问及共和党新提出的禁止外国出生人士担任国会议员的决议时，显得毫不在意。
“祝她好运，”奥马尔在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访被问及对这项潜在法案的看法时说道。
南卡罗来纳州共和党众议员南希·梅斯周三宣布，她提议一项宪法修正案，要求任何国会议员、联邦法官或参议院确认的官员必须是天然公民。这项修正案将采用美国对总统和副总统所要求的相同的天然公民标准。
菲尔博士严厉抨击伊尔汉·奥马尔，称她对美国的抨击“绝对令人作呕”
奥马尔是梅斯周三在X平台上宣布这项“早就该出台”的联合决议时明确点名的三名目标之一。奥马尔出生在索马里，2000年入籍成为美国公民。
“伊尔汉·奥马尔、什里·塔内达尔、普拉米拉·贾亚帕尔，”梅斯在X平台上发帖称，“都出生在外国，都不是天生的美国公民，都在美国国会任职，每天都在明确表明他们的效忠对象不是美国。”
目前有26名非天然公民身份者担任国会议员——其中19名民主党人，7名共和党人。
奥马尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，她不担心这项立法有机会获得通过。
“如果你在美国政府中掌权，你应该是天生的美国公民，”梅斯在一份声明中告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“长期以来，我们一直允许外国出生的人士在这个政府中占据席位，同时他们明确表明自己的效忠对象并不在美国。我们每天都能看到这一点。”
梅斯提出决议，要求在众议院民主党议员在ICE拘留设施抗议被捕后将其驱逐
修改宪法并非易事，需要参众两院三分之二的议员批准，之后还需获得美国四分之三州的批准。
该提案尚未获得众议院共和党领导层或任何大型共和党联名议员团体的广泛公开支持。
奥马尔还被问及佛罗里达州共和党众议员兰迪·法恩去年10月提出的“取消双重效忠资格法案”。该法案将禁止任何拥有他国双重国籍的人担任国会议员。它将迫使个人放弃外国国籍，才能任职或被考虑参选国会议员。
尼基·黑利的儿子表示，如果你无法选择效忠对象，“这个国家不适合你”
“那是什么？”当被问及法恩提出的法案时，奥马尔问道。

“我认为可以公平地说，你只能宣誓效忠一个国家，如果你在国会任职，你的效忠对象应该是美国，”法恩在一份声明中说道，“这项法案确保了为我们公民制定法律的人本身完全忠于我们的国家，不会同时效忠两个国家。”
自去年被提交至众议院司法委员会以来，法恩的法案在国会尚未取得重大进展。

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., appeared unbothered when asked about the newly proposed GOP resolution barring anyone foreign-born from serving in Congress.
“Good luck to her,” Omar told Fox News Digital when asked her opinion on the potential legislation.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., announced Wednesday that she is proposing a constitutional amendment that would require any member of Congress, federal judges, or Senate-confirmed officers to be a natural-born citizen. This amendment would impose the same natural-born citizen standard required for presidents and vice presidents in the U.S.

Omar was one of three targets that Mace specifically pointed out when she posted to X on Wednesday to announce her new “long overdue” joint resolution. Omar was born in Somalia and became a naturalized citizen in 2000.
“Ilhan Omar. Shri Thanedar. Pramila Jayapal,” Mace posted to X “All born in foreign countries, none were citizens by birth. All sitting in the United States Congress. All making clear every single day their loyalty is not to America.”
There are currently 26 individuals serving as members of Congress that are not natural-born citizens — 19 Democrats and seven Republicans.
Omar told Fox News Digital that she is not concerned about this legislation having the legs to pass.
“If you hold power in the American government, you should be a natural-born American citizen,” Mace told Fox News Digital in a statement. “For too long we have allowed foreign-born members to hold seats in this government, while making clear their loyalty is not here. We see it every day.”

Changing the Constitution is not an easy feat, requiring approval from two-thirds of both the House and Senate before an additional ratification of three-fourths of U.S. states.
The proposal has not yet drawn widespread public backing from House GOP leadership or any large group of Republican co-sponsors.
Omar was also asked about Rep. Randy Fine’s, R-Fla., “Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act,” which he introduced in October. This legislation would ban anyone from serving in Congress who has dual citizenship in another country. It would force individuals to renounce their foreign citizenship in order to serve or be considered for Congress.

“Who’s that?” Omar said when asked about Fine’s proposed legislation.

“I think it’s a fair argument to say you can only swear allegiance to one country, and if you’re in Congress, that allegiance should be to America,” Fine said in a statement. “This bill ensures that the people making laws for our citizens are themselves fully committed to our country, not divided between two.”
Fine’s legislation has not shown significant movement in Congress since being referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary last year.
