Fine Pushes Omar Expulsion Vote As Dual Citizenship Bill Targets Congress

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

Despite those challenges, Fine said introducing the bill is part of a longer-term effort to reshape standards for holding federal office. He said the goal is to “weed out” individuals with divided loyalties and reinforce public trust in Congress.

The renewed focus on Omar, combined with the legislative push, signals an escalating political battle over loyalty, eligibility and national security within Congress. Any move toward an expulsion vote would require a two-thirds majority in the House, a threshold that is difficult to achieve and rarely met.

No formal expulsion proceedings have been scheduled, and it remains unclear whether Fine’s effort will gain enough support to move forward. The situation continues to develop as lawmakers weigh both the allegations and the broader implications of the proposed legislation.
