This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to explicitly restrict voting in federal elections to U.S. citizens only. The amendment would apply to all federal elections, including those for President, Vice President, and members of Congress. If passed by two-thirds of both the House and Senate, the proposal would need ratification by three-fourths of the states to become part of the Constitution. The amendment includes provisions allowing states to set their own voting eligibility rules through their legislatures, while preserving Congress's authority to establish and modify voting regulations. There is no specific funding or implementation timeline mentioned, as constitutional amendments require a lengthy ratification process that varies by state.
