The United States House of Representatives has proposed a new constitutional amendment. Debate has yet to start. The text in-full is the following:
JOINT RESOLUTION
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States regarding the right to vote.
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States after the date of its submission for ratification:
``Article--
``Section 1. Every citizen of the United States, who is of legal voting age, shall have the fundamental right to vote in any public election held in the jurisdiction in which the citizen resides. ``Section 2. Congress shall have the power to enforce and implement this article by appropriate legislation.''.
The source for this is at https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/BILLS-116hjres93ih. The immediate problem that becomes apparent is that this legalizes felons to vote again, and further relies heavily on the ever-changing definition of "citizen", which is already questionable under the 14th Amendment (should you believe the Legalese Religion's interpretation of it). -- |-----/ | Se7en / The One and Only! | se7en@cock.email / | 0x0F83F93882CF6116 / | https://se7en-site.neocities.org
