Election Laws - As introduced, prohibits a person from qualifying as a candidate in a primary election for federal office who holds dual citizenship or is not a natural-born citizen of the United States. - Amends TCA Title 2.

HB 2036 prohibits individuals who hold dual citizenship or are not natural-born U.S. citizens from qualifying as candidates in Tennessee's primary elections for federal office (such as U.S. Congress or presidency). The bill defines "dual citizenship" as holding U.S. and foreign citizenship simultaneously and "natural-born citizen" as someone born in the U.S. or born abroad to U.S. citizen parents. It directly affects candidates seeking federal office through Tennessee primaries by imposing these citizenship requirements for qualification. The law would take effect upon becoming law, changing eligibility rules for state primary elections.
