Fine Pushes Omar Expulsion Vote As Dual Citizenship Bill Targets Congress

Florida Republican Randy Fine is escalating his criticism of Ilhan Omar by floating the possibility of expelling her from Congress while simultaneously pushing legislation that would ban dual citizenship for members of the House and Senate.

Fine indicated during a recent interview that a future expulsion effort could depend on the outcome of ongoing scrutiny surrounding allegations tied to Omar’s past personal history.

“We’re waiting to get the data on the brother marriage thing, which I think is coming,” Fine said. “If it turns out that that is actually the reality, will there be a vote on the floor to expel this woman from Congress? Absolutely,” he said.

At the center of Fine’s broader legislative effort is the newly proposed “Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act,” which would require all members of Congress to maintain allegiance solely to the United States by renouncing any foreign citizenship.

“The bottom line is that you can’t serve two masters,” Fine said. “If you’re going to serve in the United States Congress, you should serve America ONLY.”

Supporters of the legislation argue that dual citizenship creates potential conflicts of interest, particularly for lawmakers with access to sensitive national security information and classified intelligence.

Andy Harris strongly backed the proposal, warning that the issue extends beyond legislative voting records.

“It’s not just about the vote,” Harris said. “It’s about access to our national security secrets. They get to learn things that people from their home countries would never get to know.”

Harris also raised concerns about lawmakers born outside the United States and questioned whether all prior allegiances had been formally severed. Conservatives supporting the bill argue the legislation is part of a broader effort to reinforce an “America First” approach inside the federal government.

Fine and Harris specifically referenced Omar and another state-level lawmaker while arguing that some elected officials may place foreign interests ahead of American priorities. However, Fine did not provide direct evidence supporting those broader claims.

Under the proposed legislation, lawmakers serving in either chamber of Congress would be required to relinquish foreign citizenship status in order to remain eligible for office.

The proposal, however, faces steep political obstacles in Washington. Even supporters acknowledge the legislation is unlikely to advance through the Senate, where Democrats currently maintain control.

“The Senate will never, ever pass it,” Harris admitted. “But we want to get it done […] it’s about Americans first.”

Despite the difficult path forward, Fine insisted the bill represents a long-term effort to reshape standards for federal officeholders and strengthen public trust in Congress.

He said the broader objective is to “weed out” individuals with divided loyalties and ensure lawmakers remain fully committed to American interests.

The renewed focus on Omar reflects a larger national debate surrounding immigration, national identity, foreign influence, and government accountability that continues intensifying ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Any formal effort to expel Omar from Congress would face an extremely high constitutional threshold. Under House rules, expulsion requires support from two-thirds of the chamber — a standard historically reserved for severe criminal misconduct or corruption cases.

At this stage, no formal expulsion proceedings have been introduced, and it remains unclear whether Fine’s proposal would attract enough support to move beyond political messaging.

Still, the controversy signals that Republicans intend to continue pressing issues related to loyalty, citizenship, and national security as major campaign themes moving forward.
