Bill > HJRes146

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would require Members of Congress to demonstrate competence in American civics, meaning their knowledge of the U.S. system of government. Specifically, it mandates that Congress establish a civics examination every ten years, coinciding with the census, which is used to determine the number of representatives each state gets in the House of Representatives. This examination would be free for anyone taking it, and those who pass would receive a certificate proving their competence. The amendment states that individuals cannot serve as a Representative or Senator unless they have passed this examination at the time of their election or appointment, though each House of Congress would be required to provide elected or appointed members who haven't yet passed the exam an opportunity to do so. Congress would have the authority to pass laws to enforce this amendment, and these laws would not need the President's approval to become effective.
