MAGA Senator’s New Anti-Dual-Citizenship Bill Would Actually Force Melania and Barron Trump to Pick a Side

Freshman Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno, a hardcore Trump loyalist who rode the MAGA wave into office last month, just announced he’s dropping a bill called the “Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025.” The idea is simple but brutal: end dual citizenship completely. If it passes, every American who holds another passport would get exactly one year to renounce the foreign one—or automatically lose their U.S. citizenship.

Moreno, who was born in Colombia and proudly gave up his Colombian citizenship when he naturalized at 18, framed it as an “all or nothing” loyalty test.

“Being an American citizen is the greatest privilege on Earth,” he told Fox News on Monday. “You shouldn’t get to hedge your bets.”

Fair enough—except the legislation would directly hit two very famous residents of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: First Lady Melania Trump and her son Barron, both of whom still hold Slovenian citizenship alongside their American passports.

Melania became a U.S. citizen in 2006 (famously through the Einstein (EB-1) visa usually reserved for Nobel-level geniuses and world-class artists. Slovenia automatically grants citizenship to children of Slovenian citizens, so when Barron was born in 2006 he got both passports. He spent chunks of his childhood speaking Slovenian with his grandparents, Viktor and the late Amalija Knavs, and even had a cute Slovenian accent as a little kid.

Melania has always been open about how tight Barron was with his baba and dedek, especially after Amalija moved to the U.S. to help raise him while Melania was juggling White House duties.

So yeah… the same administration that’s making “America First” louder than ever could end up forcing the First Lady and the President’s youngest son to formally ditch the country Melania grew up in.

Safe to say the bill will either get quietly rewritten with a very convenient “immediate family of the President” exemption, or it’ll die a quick death in committee. Because no one seriously thinks Melania and 18-year-old Barron are about to have their U.S. citizenship yanked in 2026.

Politics is wild sometimes. What do you think—should dual citizenship be banned across the board, or is this one of those “rules for thee but not for me” moments? Sound off below!
