This proposed constitutional amendment would establish protections for U.S. citizenship, though the specific protections would depend on how the amendment is ultimately drafted and defined. If approved by Congress and ratified by the states, it would become part of the Constitution and could affect who is considered a citizen and what rights or responsibilities come with citizenship. The amendment is currently being reviewed by the House Judiciary Committee.
