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.
