A dual citizen should not be a US Citizen. A senator needs to have a security clearance to do their job



https://www.politicspa.com/oz-would-forego-security-clearances-in-order-to-maintain-dual-citizenship/100388/

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mehmet Oz said today that he would forego certain security clearances that are provided to all U.S. Senators to keep his dual citizenship with Turkey.

Oz was speaking to a group of reporters about the role David McCormick and his former hedge fund – Bridgewater Associates – played in the management of the Pennsylvania Public School Employees’ Retirement System (PSERS).

When asked about his dual citizenship with the United States and Turkey, Oz explained that he keeps his Turkish citizenship to care for his mother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease. When queried what he would do if this would disqualify him from security clearances, Oz agreed that he would forego them in this situation, noting “I can love my country and love my mom.”.....

While members of the U.S. Senate have had conflicts of interest in the present and past, the country has never had a senator who maintains dual citizenship, served in a foreign military, and maintains deep ties to the other nation, says Josh Rogin, columnist for the Washington Post.

“Oz’s dual citizenship – and his reluctance to renounce Turkish citizenship – will keep the FBI and security managers up at night,” said Michael Rubin at the American Enterprise Institute.
