Proposes a constitutional amendment requiring U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections.
The problem
Debate exists over voting eligibility requirements in federal elections and whether current rules adequately ensure only citizens participate.
The proposal
Amends the Constitution to explicitly require U.S. citizenship as a qualification for voting in all federal elections.
The impact
Would clarify voting eligibility rules. Affects non-citizen residents, election administrators, and voting rights advocates.
Establishes explicit constitutional language about voting eligibility. Could simplify voter registration processes by making citizenship a clear requirement. Provides uniform standard across all states.
Federal law already restricts voting to citizens in most cases. Constitutional amendment would formalize long-standing practice. Makes existing rules more permanent and difficult to change.
Some argue clarification prevents potential challenges to voter eligibility requirements. Could reduce legal disputes about who can vote. Provides definitive constitutional guidance.
Federal law already requires citizenship for federal voting. Current rules already restrict voting to citizens. Constitutional amendment may be unnecessary given existing statutes.
Constitutional amendments require lengthy approval process through Congress and states. Diverts political resources from other priorities. May not be efficient use of legislative time.
Amendment focuses on federal elections but could influence local voting rules. Some localities allow non-citizen voting in municipal elections. May restrict broader participation options.
Non-citizen voting in federal elections already rare or prohibited. Limited evidence this is a widespread problem. Amendment may address minimal actual issue.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
