Constitutional Crisis Explodes: Kennedy’s “Born in America Act” Passes Senate, Banning Naturalized and Dual Citizens from Federal Office

---

2. The Immediate Impact: Removal of Officeholders and Resignations

As of midnight, the law went into effect, and sitting officeholders who do not meet the criteria of being natural-born U.S. citizens without dual citizenship were ordered to resign within 72 hours or face potential legal action. The ramifications of this law will be felt immediately in Washington.

2.1 Who Is Affected by the New Law?

There are several high-profile figures in Congress and the U.S. Judiciary who are naturalized citizens or dual citizens. Some of these individuals will likely have to resign from their positions or face possible arrest. This includes key senators, congresspersons, and judges who hold important positions in the government.

Some critics of the bill argue that highly qualified individuals who have spent years serving the American people could be unjustly forced out of office due to their citizenship status. Conversely, supporters of the bill argue that this is a necessary measure to protect American interests and ensure that only those fully committed to the U.S. hold positions of power.
