WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a stunning moment that felt ripped from a political thriller, the Senate chamber erupted just seconds after the clock struck midnight.
With a razor-thin 51–49 vote, Senator John Neely Kennedy’s
Born In America Act—a fictional, sweeping rule demanding that every federal official be a natural-born American with zero past or present dual citizenship—suddenly became law.
What happened next plunged the country into one of the most chaotic nights in its political history.
The Vote That Triggered a Government Earthquake
According to the fictional scenario, the chamber was already tense. Senators whispered, staffers trembled, and the press gallery leaned forward as the final votes approached.
Kennedy stood motionless—hands clasped, eyes fixed on the scoreboard.
Then the gavel dropped.
Within seconds, alarms metaphorically rang through Washington.
Federal Escorts Begin Removing Naturalized Officials
Chaos erupted as federal escorts—acting under the emergency clause of the fictional act—began quietly guiding naturalized lawmakers out of the chamber.
Some left in disbelief.
Others in tears.
A few refused to move until surrounded.
Entire committee structures collapsed instantly. Leaders disappeared from hallways. Offices were sealed. It was, as one staffer whispered,
“the closest thing to a constitutional shutdown we’ve ever seen.”
A Midnight Identity Crisis Sweeps the Nation
Phones began melting down across federal agencies.
Governors demanded answers.
Judges questioned the legality of the removal orders.
Immigration attorneys warned this fictional act had set “a precedent no democratic nation has ever attempted.”
By dawn, America faced a haunting question:
Who still qualifies to govern the United States?
The fictional act overturned more than eligibility—it shattered the country’s foundational identity.
For the first time, millions wondered whether citizenship was no longer enough. Whether birth itself had become the new political weapon.
Kennedy Declares Victory — But Critics Call It a Constitutional Coup
In a fiery fictional statement released minutes after the vote, Kennedy hailed the act as “the restoration of American purity in public service.”
Critics, however, were furious.
Constitutional scholars warned the Senate had detonated a legal bomb.
Civil rights groups called the vote “the darkest midnight in modern America.”
Foreign-born veterans—many who risked their lives for the country—condemned the act as an insult to their service.
One analyst put it bluntly:
“America’s rules didn’t just change tonight.
They were rewritten from scratch.”
The Fallout Has Only Just Begun
As the sun rose, Washington resembled a shaken capital unsure of its next breath.
Dozens of federal posts lay vacant.
Emergency appointments stalled.
International allies demanded explanations.
And the biggest mystery hangs over the nation:
If this fictional law stands… who will be removed next?
