Miss Gupta is in talks with Congressman Thanedar's office on resurrecting a bill originally introduced by Congresswoman Caroline Maloney to award Mahatma Gandhi a Congressional Gold Medal posthumously, as Congresswoman Maloney is no longer in Congress and also to introduce a bill by which any US Citizen, naturalized or born in US can run for office of President of United States, given all Americans pay taxes and as witnessed in many instances allegiance to US is questioned by people born here like with the Boston Marathon bombings.
