The purpose of this legislative proposal is to amend the U.S. Constitution to clarify the criteria for determining American citizenship, particularly for those born in the United States. The main objective is to ensure that only children born to specific categories of parents are recognized as citizens at birth. The key provisions of this amendment outline that a person born in the U.S. will only be considered "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States"—a requirement for citizenship—if at least one parent falls into one of three categories.
