This House Resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States must recommit to defending and upholding the rights and protections guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. It affirms the Amendment as a cornerstone of American multiracial democracy, establishing birthright citizenship , due process of law , and equal protection under the law for all persons.
