Official title: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to prohibit voting in Federal, State, or local elections by individuals who are not citizens of the United States.
Introduced July 16, 2025 by Claudia Tenney · Last progress July 16, 2025
Proposes adding a new article to the U.S. Constitution that would become part of the Constitution if ratified by the legislatures of three‑fourths of the several States within seven years of submission. The text of the proposed article is not included in the section, so the measure only sets the ratification mechanics and deadline, not the substance of the change. Because the amendment text is missing, there is no direct change to federal law or programs until (and unless) states ratify a specific article; the measure mainly affects the constitutional amendment process and triggers state‑level consideration and potential litigation over timing or scope.
