What it does

HJRES.152 proposes a constitutional amendment to explicitly limit voting in federal elections—including primaries and elections for President, Vice President, Senators, and Representatives—to U.S. citizens only. The amendment would require states to enforce this rule through their own legislation, while granting Congress the authority to override or establish federal regulations for enforcement, including in Washington, D.C. If ratified by three-fourths of state conventions, the amendment would become part of the U.S. Constitution, ensuring that only citizens may vote in federal elections.
