[quote=Anonymous]I'd get the passport renewed now.  It makes it easy to do an international trip on short notice, even if its to an all inclusive in Mexico or the Caribbean, Mexico, or visiting a cool city in Canada.  Additionally, passport wait times aren't too bad right now.  If there are staffing challenges at the State Department there could be massive backlogs (this was the case during covid and it lasted up until a couple years ago).

If there is some sort of wacky citizenship stuff that comes out of the Trump admin. the State Department can and will cancel people's passports.  However that process will take time.  It's best to have the document in hand.

Of course, if you just want proof of citizenship and don't need the passport, a passport card should do the trick.  The application process is the same, but it's cheaper.  The card has less utility than the actual passport (only valid for land and sea border crossings to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and some Caribbean jurisdictions).  The card isn't valid for international air travel, but does serve as proof of citizenship and identity.[/quote]
