This joint resolution proposes a significant amendment to the United States Constitution, aiming to fundamentally change how Representatives are apportioned among the various states. Currently, the 14th Amendment stipulates that congressional seats are distributed based on the total population within each state. The proposed amendment would specifically require that apportionment be determined exclusively by counting the number of United States citizens residing in each state. If ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures, this alteration would redefine the demographic basis for congressional representation and could lead to a substantial redistribution of seats in the House of Representatives.
