Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Members of Congress to demonstrate competence in American civics and the U.S. constitutional system. Congress would establish a civics examination to be administered every ten years, with questions and answers published in the Congressional Record. Candidates for the House and Senate would need to pass the examination before taking office, though those elected without having done so would be given the opportunity to demonstrate competence afterward. Congress would have authority to enforce the amendment through legislation.
