Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require that certain individuals are natural born citizens.

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would require members of the U.S. House and Senate, federal judges, and Senate-confirmed federal officers to be natural born citizens. The amendment would take effect only if ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years. The House and Senate rules would begin on January 3 of the first odd-numbered year after ratification, with sitting Senators covered once their current terms end. The rules for judges and Senate-confirmed officers, such as ambassadors, would begin six months after ratification.
