Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require that certain individuals are natural born citizens.
Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Summary
The joint resolution would add a new constitutional article that limits the House, Senate, federal judges, and ambassadors (or other Senate‑confirmed officers) to natural‑born citizens only. It sets specific future dates when each restriction would take effect. The amendment would only become part of the Constitution if approved by three‑quarters of the states within seven years.
