Bill Summary
This proposed constitutional amendment would change how U.S. citizenship is granted, likely by eliminating or restricting automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to non-citizen parents. The change would affect millions of Americans and future generations by potentially requiring at least one parent to be a U.S. citizen or legal resident for a child born here to automatically become a citizen. Currently, anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically granted citizenship regardless of their parents' status.
