Bill overview
This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to clarify and strengthen the definition of American citizenship. Specifically, it limits when a person born in the United States can be considered ‘subject to the jurisdiction of the United States,’ focusing on individuals born to U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, or those serving in the military with legal status. The amendment aims to provide greater certainty regarding citizenship status and congressional authority to enforce it.
