This bill would restrict federal judicial appointments to natural-born U.S. citizens only. It amends federal law to add a new eligibility requirement preventing anyone who is not a natural-born citizen from being appointed as a judge of the United States. The bill also applies retroactively to sitting judges: any current federal judge who holds dual citizenship with a foreign country would be required to renounce their foreign citizenship within 60 days of the law's enactment or face removal from office. The bill contains no new funding provisions and establishes a clear 60-day compliance deadline for existing judges with dual citizenship.
