[ADVISORY] PROPOSED SENATE BILL ENDING DUAL CITIZENSHIP IN THE UNITED STATES

The Embassy notes the introduction of a new bill in the U.S. Senate to end dual citizenship in the United States.

The bill is currently a legislative proposal and has not yet been enacted into law. It will go through several stages of lengthy deliberation and may or may not proceed depending on the decisions of the U.S. Congress. U.S. lawmakers will have to carefully consider the provisions of the bill, given its possible significant impact on major immigrant groups in the country.

The Embassy further notes that previous challenges to dual and multiple citizenship had not materialized. As early as 1952, the U.S. Supreme Court stated that dual citizenship is a “status long recognized by law” and that “a person may have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries and be subject to the responsibilities of both. The mere fact he asserts the rights of one citizenship does not mean that he renounces the other” (Kawakita v. US, 343 US 717).

Our Philippine Foreign Service Posts in the United States are closely monitoring the bill and advise the Filipino-American community to do the same and exercise caution in renouncing their citizenship. Renunciation of Philippine citizenship is an irreversible legal action.

For questions, please contact the Philippine Embassy or your nearest Philippine consulate.
