Fine Pushes Omar Expulsion Vote As Dual Citizenship Bill Targets Congress
Fine Pushes Omar Expulsion Vote As Dual Citizenship Bill Targets Congress
U.S. Rep. Randy Fine is signaling a potential vote to expel Rep. Ilhan Omar from Congress as he simultaneously pushes new legislation aimed at banning dual citizenship for members of Congress. The Florida Republican said the effort to remove Omar could move forward depending on the outcome of ongoing inquiries into allegations tied to her past.
“We’re waiting to get the data on the brother marriage thing, which I think is coming,” Fine said during an interview. “If it turns out that that is actually the reality, will there be a vote on the floor to expel this woman from Congress? Absolutely,” he said.
Fine’s comments come as he introduces the “Disqualifying Dual Loyalty Act,” a proposal that would require members of the House and Senate to hold allegiance only to the United States. He framed the legislation as part of a broader push to ensure that elected officials are fully committed to American interests.
“The bottom line is that you can’t serve two masters,” Fine said. “If you’re going to serve in the United States Congress, you should serve America ONLY,” he said.
Supporters of the bill argue that dual citizenship presents a potential conflict of interest, particularly for lawmakers with access to classified information. Rep. Andy Harris said the concern extends beyond voting decisions to national security risks tied to sensitive intelligence.
“It’s not just about the vote,” Harris said. “It’s about access to our national security secrets. They get to learn things that people from their home countries would never get to know,” he said.
Harris also pointed to the number of lawmakers born outside the United States, raising questions about whether all prior allegiances have been formally renounced. He said the issue is part of a broader effort to prioritize American interests within the federal government.
Fine and Harris specifically cited Omar and another state-level lawmaker as examples of officials they believe may prioritize foreign interests. Fine argued that some Democrats have demonstrated that U.S. interests are not their top priority, though he did not provide specific evidence to support that claim.
The proposed legislation would apply to both chambers of Congress and would require lawmakers to relinquish any foreign citizenship to remain in office. However, the measure faces significant obstacles in the Senate, where Democrats hold control and have shown little interest in advancing similar proposals.
“The Senate will never, ever pass it,” Harris said. “But we want to get it done […] it’s about Americans first,” he said.
Despite those challenges, Fine said introducing the bill is part of a longer-term effort to reshape standards for holding federal office. He said the goal is to “weed out” individuals with divided loyalties and reinforce public trust in Congress.
The renewed focus on Omar, combined with the legislative push, signals an escalating political battle over loyalty, eligibility and national security within Congress. Any move toward an expulsion vote would require a two-thirds majority in the House, a threshold that is difficult to achieve and rarely met.
No formal expulsion proceedings have been scheduled, and it remains unclear whether Fine’s effort will gain enough support to move forward. The situation continues to develop as lawmakers weigh both the allegations and the broader implications of the proposed legislation.

Lisa Kennedy recently married Fred in Hawaii: Who is the Fox News star’s new husband?
Fox News personality Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery has entered a new chapter in her personal life after marrying Fred in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Hawaii.
Kennedy shared photographs from the celebration at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, giving followers a glimpse of the man she now calls her husband and the friends who joined them for the occasion.
“Married the love of my life at the Four Seasons Lanai in a Heidi Merrick dress drenched in sunshine and aloha,” Kennedy wrote. “I love you forever, Fred!!”
While Kennedy has been open about how much Fred means to her, she has kept many details about her new husband firmly outside the public spotlight.
Kennedy and Fred celebrate their marriage in Hawaii
The couple exchanged vows during an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Kennedy wore a sparkling white Heidi Merrick gown with a fitted silhouette, completing her bridal look with a veil and colorful tropical bouquet. Fred wore a light-blue suit with a white shirt, light-colored tie and brown shoes. The newlyweds also wore traditional Hawaiian leis.
Photographs showed Kennedy and Fred walking hand in hand as guests applauded, with the bride raising her bouquet in celebration. Another captured them cutting their multi-tiered wedding cake against a backdrop of palm trees, ocean views and the evening sky.
The wedding announcement became a major moment among Kennedy’s followers, receiving more than 154,000 likes and nearly 2,000 comments.
Several familiar Fox News personalities were also part of the celebration. Emily Compagno, Abby Hornacek and Alexis McAdams were among the recognizable guests photographed in Hawaii.
Emily later wrote that they had the “best time celebrating Kennedy and Fred’s marriage,” adding, “The Fox family showed up for our favorite girl.”
Who is Kennedy’s husband, Fred?
Despite the attention surrounding their wedding, Fred remains largely a private figure.
Based on what Kennedy has publicly shared, his surname, profession and detailed background have not been revealed. Even when announcing her marriage, Kennedy continued referring to her husband simply as Fred.
What she has shared, however, offers some insight into how unexpectedly their relationship entered her life.

Kennedy discussed Fred publicly when announcing their engagement on The Five in December 2025. She revealed that he had proposed on December 10 and said the two had met recently and “unexpectedly.”
During the emotional on-air conversation, Kennedy described the impact their meeting had on her life.
“He is the most beautiful, wonderful human being,” she said. “And I had totally given up until those elevator doors opened and I met him out of the blue — he changed my life.”
Kennedy has not provided additional details about exactly where that first meeting occurred or the circumstances surrounding it.
Their relationship began before the public announcement
Although viewers did not learn about the engagement until December 2025, Kennedy revealed another detail suggesting Fred had quietly been part of her life for some time.
She told her The Five colleagues that she had secretly brought him to the Fox Christmas party the previous year.
“I snuck him in. Don’t tell security,” Kennedy joked during the conversation.
That revelation indicated the couple had already been seeing each other by at least December 2024, even though Kennedy had kept the relationship away from public attention.
Dana Perino was among those particularly moved by the engagement news.
Perino recalled learning about it while Kennedy was appearing on America’s Newsroom, telling her colleague that the announcement had made her cry.
“And Fred is such a wonderful guy,” Perino said before telling Kennedy, “I cried because I’m so happy for you.”
From a private romance to a Hawaiian wedding
Kennedy continued keeping Fred’s personal details private even as she became more open about their relationship.
That approach remained evident at their wedding. While she shared numerous photographs of their special day and publicly expressed her love for her new husband, she did not use the occasion to reveal his surname, career or other biographical information.
Instead, Kennedy kept the attention on their marriage and the happiness surrounding it.
The couple received congratulations from numerous familiar names, including Kat Timpf, Janice Dean, Sandra Smith, Griff Jenkins, Abby Hornacek and Meghan McCain.
For followers who had watched Kennedy announce her engagement months earlier, the Hawaiian ceremony provided the next chapter in a relationship that had largely developed outside the public eye.
What is publicly known about Fred remains limited, but Kennedy has made one thing unmistakably clear: she considers him the man who unexpectedly entered her life, changed it and ultimately became her husband.
From secretly attending a Fox Christmas party together to an emotional engagement announcement and finally exchanging vows beside the Pacific Ocean, Kennedy and Fred have now made their commitment official — while continuing to keep much of their story between themselves.
