Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States requiring Members of Congress to demonstrate competence in American civics.
This bill, HJR146, aims to propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, requiring Members of Congress to show they understand American civics. The idea is to ensure lawmakers have a solid grasp of the nation's history, government, and principles.
If passed, this would affect all current and future Members of Congress. They would need to demonstrate their knowledge of American civics, likely through a test or some other form of assessment. This could help ensure they are well-prepared to serve and make informed decisions.
As of now, the bill was introduced and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary on January 30, 2026. This means it is in the early stages of the legislative process. Further actions will include reviews, possible amendments, and votes in the committee and potentially the full House.
