Condemning remarks made by Representative Delia Ramirez of Illinois declaring her allegiance to the Republic of Guatemala before the United States of America.

This resolution (HRES 647) is a symbolic House of Representatives measure condemning remarks made by Representative Delia Ramirez (D-IL) in which she stated, "I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American." It directly addresses Ramirez’s comments, which the resolution claims conflict with her duty as a U.S. representative. The resolution formally condemns her remarks as prioritizing Guatemala over the United States, affirms that members of Congress must always represent American citizens’ interests, and emphasizes the constitutional oath requiring allegiance to the U.S. This is a procedural resolution with no legal effect, solely expressing the House’s disapproval of Ramirez’s statements.
