Full title: To establish that citizens of the United States shall owe sole and exclusive allegiance to the United States, and for other purposes.
It'll be interesting to see how far this gets. A lot of wealthy people in the US have multiple citizenship. Elon Musk, for instance, holds citizenship status in three countries. Thiel in the US and New Zealand.
The language reminds me of how Germany handled dual citizenships until very recently, taking away the German citizenship unless a years long opaque retention certificate application process wasn't followed.
An allegience bill introduced by Bernie Moreno, huh. In my opinion, any federal government official who denies the 2020 election has violated their allegiance to the United States. As early as 2021 [1]:

> After the 2020 presidential election, Moreno criticized those denying the results of the election, but in 2021 expressed his belief that the election had been "stolen".

And as late as 2024 [2]:

> In paid advertising before the primary, Moreno had embraced Trump’s lies about the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.

> “President Trump says the election was stolen and he’s right,” Moreno said in one digital ad.
