Bill Summary
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to prohibit persons who are not citizens, nationals, or lawful permanent residents of the United States from voting in elections.
AI Summary
This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would prohibit non-citizens, non-nationals, and non-lawful permanent residents from voting in any elections at the federal, state, tribal, local, and territorial levels. The proposed amendment specifically states that individuals who do not have permanent residency status, do not owe permanent allegiance to the United States, or are not citizens would be barred from participating in electoral processes. The resolution requires ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years of submission and includes a provision allowing Congress to enforce the amendment through appropriate legislation. This proposed constitutional amendment aims to restrict voting rights to citizens, nationals, and lawful permanent residents, effectively eliminating the ability of undocumented immigrants, temporary visa holders, and other non-permanent residents to vote in any American elections.
