What it does

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to explicitly limit voting in federal elections—including presidential, vice-presidential, and congressional primaries and general elections—to U.S. citizens only. It would require states to enforce this rule through their own legislation, while granting Congress the authority to override or establish uniform regulations, including for federal elections in Washington, D.C. The amendment would take effect only after ratification by conventions in three-fourths of the states.
