Bill Summary
JOINT RESOLUTION Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to provide that Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the number of persons in each State who are citizens of the United States.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would change how the number of representatives each state gets in the House of Representatives is determined. Currently, apportionment is based on the total population of each state, including all residents. This amendment would require that representatives be apportioned based only on the number of U.S. citizens living in each state, excluding non-citizens from the count. This change would need to be ratified by three-fourths of the states within seven years to become part of the Constitution.
