Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to protect United States citizenship.

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution about who gains citizenship by being born in the United States. Under the amendment, a person born in the U.S. would count as "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" under the 14th Amendment only if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or national, a lawful permanent resident living in the U.S., or a noncitizen with lawful immigration status serving on active duty in the Armed Forces. Congress would have the power to pass laws to carry out the amendment. The amendment would take effect only if three-fourths of state legislatures ratify it within seven years.
