Maybe the US could look to France again - since they do just this in their National Assembly, and also have representatives for citizens aboard in the Senate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constituencies_for_French_re...



Maybe France could not look at the US and also start taxing citizens everywhere in the world: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.boursorama.com/actualite-ec... (french source)


That’s pretty bad, you could end up with two countries claiming you are fiscally resident in their country at the same time.

France has actually considered taxing French citizens abroad like the US. It comes regularly during presidential campaigns. I think the last serious attempt was Hollande. They backed down because it would require to renegotiate every tax treaty and they didn’t want to open that door.

But I think it will happen one day.
