Der Senator von Ohio führt Maßnahmen zur Abschaffung der doppelten Staatsbürgerschaft ein
Da ich vom Schweizer Finanzsystem weitgehend ausgeschlossen bin, war meine erste Reaktion: „Zu gut um wahr zu sein!“
Was denken Sie? Welche Auswirkungen hätte es auf Sie?

It won’t materialize, not even worth entertaining
Fuck.
I hope this will effect enough rich people that it doesn’t pass.
> to [sic] to be true!
You know you can rescind your American citizenship, right?
Swiss RePeoplican Party salivating in 3, 2, 1 ….
OP, how would this be „too good to be true“? If you currently reside in Switzerland due to a dual citizenship, you would lose it.
But agree with the other poster, this is a preposterous bill, designed to pander to the senator’s base with no chance of going anywhere. 3% of the US are dual citizens.
Honestly. As an American immigrant that is subjected to the shit IRS requirements of being a foreign resident, I would welcome this with open arms if it meant I didn’t have to give up a ridiculous amount of retirement savings to drop this shitty blue book. I am trying as hard as I can to integrate into swiss culture, but as I am an older American with significant savings that currently would be tragically penalized for denouncing, I am currently stuck with the American passport once I hopefully am accepted as a swiss citizen. Got a few more years to go before I am eligible to apply, so I can only dream the US WANTS to let me go without penalties.
I liked the idea of my kid having the option down the road to study or work in the US easily if they wanted to but I can’t imagine living in the US anymore. Overall it’s a shame to lose the option of the extra passport but a big win on tax reporting and access to Swiss banks though, as you pointed out.
