Summary

The resolution proposes a new constitutional amendment that changes the definition of who is “subject to the jurisdiction of the United States” for birthright citizenship. A child born in the United States would only be a citizen if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident, or an alien serving in the armed forces. Congress would be given authority to pass laws to carry out the amendment.
