Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to ensure that only citizens are eligible to vote in Federal elections.

This legislation, introduced as a joint resolution, proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would formally establish citizenship as a requirement for voting in federal elections. If passed by two-thirds of both the House and Senate and ratified by three-fourths of the states, it would create a uniform constitutional standard clarifying that only U.S. citizens possess the right to cast ballots for federal offices, such as President, Vice President, and members of Congress.

Currently, federal law already prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections. This proposal aims to elevate that restriction to the constitutional level, which would make the requirement more permanent and difficult to change through standard legislation. For everyday citizens, the amendment would reinforce existing eligibility rules while potentially affecting how states verify the citizenship status of individuals registering to vote in federal contests.

As a proposed constitutional amendment, this bill follows a much more rigorous path than standard legislation. It does not require a signature from the President, but it must achieve broad consensus across both the federal government and the individual states to become part of the Constitution. At this stage, the bill has only been referred to a committee for initial review.
