This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would significantly alter the eligibility requirements for federal judicial positions. Specifically, it stipulates that only a natural born citizen may serve as a judge on either the Supreme Court or any other federal court, explicitly overriding any conflicting provisions in Article III of the Constitution. For this amendment to be adopted, it must be ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures within seven years of its submission to the states. If successfully ratified, the new requirement for judges would become effective six months following the date of its ratification.
