Fact check: Who wanted to get rid of dual citizenship before trump

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, none of the sources contain information about who wanted to eliminate dual citizenship before Trump. The sources focus primarily on Trump-era policies but do not address the historical context requested in the original question.

The analyses reveal that:

• Trump administration efforts centered on revoking citizenship from some Americans rather than eliminating dual citizenship entirely ^[1]
• Claims that Trump announced an end to dual citizenship were fact-checked and found to be false ^[2]
• Trump's actual proposals focused on ending birthright citizenship, not dual citizenship ^{[3] [4]}

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The analyses provided completely lack historical context about pre-Trump efforts to restrict or eliminate dual citizenship. Critical missing information includes:

• Historical figures or political movements that advocated against dual citizenship before Trump
• Legislative attempts or policy proposals from previous administrations
• Timeline of dual citizenship debates in American political history
• Specific politicians, organizations, or interest groups who previously pushed for dual citizenship restrictions

The sources appear to be heavily focused on recent Trump-related policies rather than providing the broader historical perspective needed to answer the original question ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself does not contain misinformation, but it assumes that there were significant efforts to eliminate dual citizenship before Trump without providing evidence for this premise. The question may be based on:

• Conflation of different citizenship-related policies - the analyses show confusion between birthright citizenship, citizenship revocation, and dual citizenship restrictions ^{[2] [3] [4]}
• Potential misunderstanding of what constitutes "getting rid of dual citizenship" versus other citizenship-related restrictions

The complete absence of relevant historical information in the provided analyses suggests either that such efforts were minimal or that the search parameters were too narrowly focused on Trump-era policies rather than historical precedents.
