This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the United States Constitution, seeking to clarify the interpretation of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause . Specifically, it aims to redefine what it means for a person born in the United States to be "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States." Under the proposed amendment, a person born in the U.S. would only be considered "subject to the jurisdiction" if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national, or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence. This provision would significantly alter the current understanding of automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who do not meet these criteria. The amendment would become part of the Constitution upon ratification by three-fourths of the states within seven years, and Congress would be granted the power to enact appropriate legislation to carry out its provisions.
