Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require that any Representative or Senator be a natural born citizen.

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would require every member of the House of Representatives and the Senate to be a natural born citizen of the United States. A sitting member who is not a natural born citizen when the amendment is ratified could finish their current term but could not serve in Congress afterward. The amendment would take effect only if three-fourths of state legislatures ratify it within seven years after it is sent to the states.
