Bill overview
The Congressional Civics Act of 2026 proposes to require Members of Congress to demonstrate a baseline understanding of American civics.

The examination would be administered by the House and Senate, and successful completion would be required for new members to be seated and for committee assignments. The bill also aims to make the examination accessible to the public through an online platform.
