Proposing an amendment to the Constitution to protect American citizenship.
H.J. Res. 103 proposes a constitutional amendment to redefine birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment. The amendment specifies that a person born in the U.S. is only considered "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident living in the U.S., or an immigrant with lawful status serving in the military. This would directly affect individuals born in the U.S. to parents not meeting these conditions, such as children of undocumented immigrants or temporary visa holders. The amendment requires ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years to become part of the Constitution.
