Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to provide that Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the number of persons in each State who are citizens of the United States.

This proposal would change how seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are divided among the states. Instead of counting all people who live in a state, it would count only people who are U.S. citizens when deciding how many House seats each state gets .

In simple terms, states with more non‑citizens would likely have fewer seats than they do now, and states with more citizens could gain seats. The text provided does not include timing or other details beyond this core change .

• Key change: Apportionment would be based on the number of citizens in each state, not the total population .
