'I feel alienated': American dual nationals in Europe ready to renounce citizenship

On December 1st 2025, Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio introduced the "Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025" to the US Senate. The proposed bill, if it ever became law, would effectively force Americans to choose between their American passport and any foreign citizenship. Understandably it sparked shockwaves among US passport holders living in Europe and around the world. While many have dismissed the bill as fanciful, publicity-seeking and against the constitution—pointing out it could never pass given how many people it would impact, including First Lady Melania Trump who is a dual Slovenian-American national—it has nonetheless raised big questions about the value of an American passport to those living abroad.
