Sheinbaum: one flag. Deputies advance a ban on dual nationality for those who govern.

Claudia Sheinbaum told the mañanera that in a time of foreign meddling, the president and the governors must have one homeland. “Sólo una patria y un pueblo.” Only one country, and one people to lead and to obey. You cannot be president and swear to two flags. Only one, the Mexican. The Mexico desk files the sentence in English. We do not write the sister paper’s Spanish.

The constitutional points commission in the Chamber of Deputies approved the dictamen: Mexican by birth, and a formal renunciation of any other nationality, before anyone registers to run for the presidency, a governorship, or Mexico City. Articles 82, 116 and 122. Morena and allies in favor; PRI and Movimiento Ciudadano against. The floor is booked for Sept. 21–23. The rule would start with the 2028 cycle. Sitting officials keep their posts. Hacienda, the same morning, delivered the 2027 budget package. Two clocks: a constitution, and a spending book.

You cannot be president and swear to two flags. Only one, the Mexican. You swear only to the people of Mexico.

Sheinbaum said the reform does not strip political rights. It names a conflict. Swear to Spain and you swear to a king. Swear to the United States and you swear to that flag. “We collaborate, but we do not subordinate.” The trucks still have to cross. The foreign desk files both: a president who will not be drafted as a province, and a Congress that is about to write it down.
