New Law That Would Mandate Congressional Districts Be Based Only On U.S. Citizens Debated In Rules
The Rules Committee debates the Equal Representation Act, which would mandate a question about citizenship be included in the Census, and make Congressional districts be based on U.S. citizen numbers only.

It's more insidious and sneaky than that. It involves basing Congressional representation and Electoral College votes on Gross state population per the census WHICH INCLUDES ILLEGAL MIGRANTS. So they are being brought in to distort the electoral system even if they aren't individually allowed to submit a ballot. It still affects Electoral College and Congressional representation.

That can't be they had a spine
The requirement for President is NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. The Founding Fathers cited DeVattel in their letters. Natural Born Citizen is defined as a person born on US soil, to Citizen Parents. That's Parents with an S. Plural as in more than one Parent. John McCain was not a Natural Born Citizen; he was born in a civilian hospital in Panama. In fact, Hillary and Obama sponsored a Senate Resolution giving NBC to McCain. Statutes and Senate Resolutions can never make anybody a Natural Born Citizen. Obama was not qualified either. His father was Kenyan and in 1961, Kenya was under the British Crown. We don't need his birth certificate. According to British Law, children born of a British Subject automatically take British Citizenship. So, Obama technically had dual allegiance and to Britain; was that not what the Founding Fathers were trying to prevent? The 14th Amendment removed State's Rights. It made all persons born the US, subject to the jurisdiction thereof. What that has done is to put teeth into the DC Act of 1871 when the US Incorporated. You can't always discern what the Founding Fathers intended just from a document that was meant to be short and easily read by any person. To learn what the Framers intended, you must read their letters, The Federalist Papers and Anti-Federalist Papers. OMG...am I telling people they have to read? If you don't, you will be lost. God said "My people shall perish due to lack of knowledge"
