Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
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 primary and general elections for President, Vice President, Senate, House of Representatives, and presidential electors. If approved by Congress and ratified by three-fourths of the states, the amendment would give state legislatures the power to enforce the citizenship requirement through their own laws, while also allowing Congress to establish or modify voting regulations at the federal level. The resolution does not involve any direct federal funding or implementation timeline, as constitutional amendments typically require a lengthy ratification process that can span months or years. This proposal addresses voting eligibility at the federal level only and does not affect state or local elections.
