(Dec. 5, 2025) — “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” Matt 6:24
I can already hear some preparing to charge me with abusing Scripture to make a point. However, I will make my counter up front: Matthew uses a universal, temporal truism to enlighten a spiritual teaching. Using it in reverse is then not an issue for me.
As it applies to elected office and dual citizenship, I find it at the very least naïve that those with no evidence of interest in assimilation should be allowed to hold any federal office. Dual citizenship will preclude you from employment by certain three-letter agencies but it’s OK to hold office where that same person has the authority to direct those same agencies??
Given that certain groups remain cloistered so as not to be “adversely” affected by dirty Americans and that they harbor ill will and active allegiance with their country of origin, it would be logical to disqualify them from holding office especially where holding office is not considered a natural right. Worse yet, it cannot be predetermined how their bifurcated loyalty will affect any future decisions.
The Deconstructionists will twist their reasoning skills into an unrecognizable knot to defend this manifestly dangerous flirtation with welcoming potential foreign agents into the legislative chambers of federal governance. This only highlights their disdain for the sovereignty and security of the nation.
There has been recent, high-profile disclosure of the Somalis embezzling money from federal autism funds, using it for personal bling and sending it to Al-Shabaab in Somalia. Coupling this with Ilhan Omar’s continually displayed disdain for America, Americans, American culture, and Constitutional vision are extant object lessons and a petri dish in danger of spilling over…
By the way, there isn’t an official list of serving or past seated Reps or Senators holding dual citizenship because that information is considered “confidential and personal…”
The point is this should never have been allowed: the establishment of de facto protectorates in Minneapolis, Dearborn, Houston, Dallas and more and certainly people with conflicting loyalties from holding any federal job or office – period!

defending privacy of citizenship(s) information for any elected official = defending piracy of citizenship(s) information from voters!
Who still does not want national voter-ID today?
ANSWER: those would-be voters with some voter-disqualification(s) to hide that would sacrifice a Party’s vote-power
>John Jay wrote a letter to General Washington on July 25, 1788 imploring Washington remotely to mandate that any U.S. Commander-in-Chief be a “natural born Citizen”.
>John Jay secured a unanimous affirmative vote during New York’s U.S. Constitutional Ratification Convention, on July 27, 1788, to require that all future U.S. Presidents, Vice Presidents, Senators and Representatives be a natural born Citizen and a freeholder (established property owner).
CORRECTION ABOVE:
July 25, 1787– John Jay’s letter to General Washington hinting about “natural born citizen”-qualifier
July 25, 1788– John Jay’s expanded “natural born citizen”-qualifier is approved at NY convention:

“…On 25 July [1788] Jay himself proposed an amendment barring all except freeholders who were (with some specified exceptions) from eligibility for president, vice president, or members of either house of Congress, a restriction more severe than what he had suggested to Washington in July [25,] 1787. Lansing’s effort to delete the restriction to freeholders was defeated, and Jay’s proposed amendment was adopted by a large majority, 52 and included in the final list of recommendatory amendments submitted by the Convention.”
