Passing the 16th Amendment to the Constitution

24th January 2024

I propose that the quoted bit (Disqualification of Candidates) below be added to the constitution under the elections section. I think campaign eligibility for dual citizens should be handled on a case by case basis as I think trying to legislate exactly what conditions each candidate is able to run under is impractical. This would fix the issue of dual citizens who have concerning foreign attachments being eligible to run. I think this fix makes it disqualifying candidates something that can't be done lightly and outlines a simple process that is easy to follow.

Disqualification of Candidates: A candidate may be disqualified from the election if the President, Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of the Interior agree. The candidate must be notified of being disqualified before the opening of the polls for the disqualification to be valid.

Senator Quanton_Biscuit’s proposal was approved by the Senate and by President ChrisChrispie.
