CA: Adopt the American Allegiance Amendment
This bill proposes adding a new section to the Ohio Constitution to ban individuals holding citizenship in any country other than the United States from serving in elected public offices. The amendment requires the Secretary of State to verify a candidate's citizenship status and would apply to all elected positions within the state and its local political subdivisions. If passed by a two-thirds vote in the legislature and approved by voters, the rule would take effect immediately upon adoption.
