H.Res. 1038 is a non-binding resolution expressing the House's commitment to defending the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees birthright citizenship, due process, and equal protection under the law. The resolution, sponsored by Representative Tlaib and a bipartisan group of colleagues, calls on Congress and all branches of government to reject any efforts to weaken or undermine these constitutional protections, specifically citing concerns about proposals to restrict birthright citizenship, limit voting access, and erode due process rights for immigrants. The resolution emphasizes that these protections are fundamental to American democracy and apply to all people regardless of background or political affiliation. As a sense-of-the-House resolution, it does not create new law or require funding, but rather serves as a statement of congressional position urging elected officials at all government levels to actively defend the Fourteenth Amendment's core guarantees. The measure was introduced on February 4, 2026, and referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
