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 to establish a natural born citizen requirement for holding several key federal positions. The amendment aims to restrict eligibility for these roles, ensuring that only individuals meeting this specific citizenship criterion can serve. Specifically, the proposed amendment would mandate that no person who is not a natural born citizen may serve as a Representative or a Senator. It also extends this requirement to all Judges of the supreme and inferior courts, explicitly overriding Article III of the Constitution in this regard. Furthermore, the amendment would apply to Ambassadors, public Ministers, Consuls, and any other Officer of the United States requiring Senate advice and consent. The effective dates for these provisions vary; the requirements for Representatives and Senators would take effect on January 3rd of the first odd-numbered calendar year following ratification, with a delayed application for sitting Senators. The restrictions for Judges and other appointed Officers would become effective six months after the amendment's ratification.
