Judicial Loyalty Act of 2026

This bill requires all U.S. federal judges to be natural-born citizens, amending federal law to bar non-natural-born citizens from appointment. It directly affects current and future federal judges who are not natural-born citizens, including those holding dual U.S. and foreign citizenship. Judges who are U.S. citizens but also hold foreign citizenship must renounce that foreign citizenship within 60 days of the law's enactment or resign from their position. The bill establishes a clear eligibility requirement and a specific timeline for dual citizens to comply with the new rule.
