A Texas Republican is pushing legislation that should have patriotic Americans cheering—and Washington swamp creatures sweating. Rep. Wesley Hunt has introduced a constitutional amendment that would require every member of Congress to pass the same basic civics test that foreign nationals must complete to become American citizens.
Think about that for a moment, Patriots. We make people from other countries prove they understand our founding principles better than the career politicians who are supposed to be defending them.
Hunt's Congressional Civics Act, obtained exclusively by Blaze News, would create a simple but powerful requirement: know the Constitution before you swear to uphold it. What a radical concept in today's Washington!
Finally, Someone Holding The Swamp Accountable
This isn't just brilliant politics—it's desperately needed reform. How many times have we watched clueless lawmakers completely butcher basic constitutional principles? How often do we see Democrats trampling the Bill of Rights while claiming to be "defending democracy"?
Hunt, who is running for Senate, understands what everyday Americans have been screaming about for years: our representatives should actually represent our values and understand our system of government.
The timing couldn't be better. With President Trump's second term focused on draining the swamp and implementing real government accountability through initiatives like Elon Musk's DOGE, Hunt's proposal fits perfectly into the America First agenda.
"We require immigrants to pass this test to become citizens, but we don't require the same from those who make our laws," Hunt noted, according to sources familiar with the legislation.
It's a fair point that exposes the absurdity of our current system. Foreign-born Americans often know more about the Constitution than the swamp creatures who've been violating it for decades.
The Left Won't Like This
Of course, expect the usual suspects to oppose this common-sense reform. The same Democrats who can't define what a woman is will suddenly discover concerns about "voting rights" when asked to prove they understand the document they swore to defend.
But that's exactly why Hunt's proposal is so important. It's time to separate the patriots from the pretenders in Congress. Will your representatives support holding themselves to the same standard as new Americans?
