Requires future Representatives and Senators to be natural born citizens.
This bill would change the U.S. Constitution to require that all future members of the House and Senate be natural born citizens. This means U.S. citizens who were not born in the country would no longer be able to serve in Congress. Current members who are not natural born citizens could finish their terms but could not run again.
Today, a U.S. citizen can serve in the House or Senate after being a citizen for a certain number of years, regardless of where they were born. If this bill becomes law, only natural born citizens would be able to serve in Congress in the future. Current members not born in the U.S. could finish their terms but would not be able to run again.
