[Input not working ][1]

I added an event with the goal of listening to an event when the value of the input is EU citizen so I added it on the button with id 'submit' 
The function does work but when I write EU citizen in the input the message 'You are eligible should show' but nothing happens. 

```
//1. Listen for submit buttton for Nationality 
document.getElementById('submit').addEventListener('click', function(e) {

    e.preventDefault();

})

//UI vars for Nationality 

const nationality = document.getElementById('submit')

//show message you are eligible if it evaluates to EU citizen 

function checkNationality(input) {
if(input === 'EU citizen') {

    console.log('You are eligible')

} else {

  console.log('You are not eligible')

}
}

```

What am I missing? help, please
