US HJR146

Proposes a constitutional amendment requiring all Representatives and Senators to pass a civics examination demonstrating competence in the U.S. system of government

Congress must establish a new examination every 10 years, aligned with the census cycle, with questions and answers published in the Congressional Journal

The examination must be free to all test-takers, and certificates of passage must be provided to those who demonstrate competence

Candidates who win election or appointment without prior certification may take the exam or use an alternative Congress-approved method afterward

Enforcement legislation under this amendment would not require presidential approval to take effect
