Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This bill would amend the U.S. Constitution to bar voting in any federal, state, or local election (including ballot initiatives or referenda) by anyone who is not a United States citizen. It follows the standard constitutional amendment process: it must be proposed by two-thirds of both the House and Senate and then ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures within seven years. If ratified, the amendment would be the law of the land, superseding any existing or future local practices that allow non-citizen voting. Congress would have the authority to enforce the amendment through legislation. In practical terms, naturalized citizens and citizens by birth would retain their voting rights, while non-citizens—such as permanent residents, temporary visa holders, refugees, asylees, and undocumented residents—would be prohibited from participating in any public elections or related ballot measures nationwide.
