Born in Kampala, raised in Queens. First Muslim and South Asian NYC mayor. Now: the people's candidate for President — if we amend the Constitution to make it possible.

The Constitutional Barrier

The "natural-born citizen" clause — and why it must change.

Article II of the U.S. Constitution limits the presidency to "natural-born citizens." Written in 1787, this clause was never meant to permanently exclude talented, deeply American leaders like Zohran Mamdani — a man who chose this country, was shaped by it, and has devoted his life to its people. It's time to update an 18th-century rule for a 21st-century nation of immigrants.

U.S. Constitution · Article II, Section 1, Clause 5
"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Step 1 of 2
02
States ratify the amendment

Step 2 of 2
290
House votes needed
Two-thirds of 435 House members. Reaching across the aisle is essential — this amendment is about American values, not party lines. Every constituent voice counts.
U.S. House
67
Senate votes needed
Two-thirds of 100 Senators. With enough constituent pressure, lawmakers in both parties can be moved to act. Your senator needs to hear from you directly.

Step-by-Step Guide

Never contacted a politician before? No problem.

Think of your representatives like employees you hired on Election Day. They work for you. Contacting them is not scary — it takes about 5 minutes and it genuinely makes a difference. Here's exactly how to do it, explained as simply as possible.

Who are they?
Your 2 U.S. Senators
Every state has exactly 2 U.S. Senators — no matter how big or small the state. They serve 6-year terms and represent everyone in your state. Their YES vote is needed to propose the amendment.
1
Go to senate.gov and find your state
Click the button below. It takes you to the official U.S. Senate website. At the top, you'll see a dropdown menu that says "Find Your Senators." Click it and choose your state from the list.
Go to senate.gov →
2
You'll see both of your senators with their photos
The page will show you the two people who represent your state. You'll see their names, photos, and a "Contact" link under each one. You need to contact BOTH of them.
💡 You can see an example of this — Virginia shows Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, each with a Contact link.
3
Click "Contact" under the first senator
This takes you to their personal website. Look for a button or link that says "Contact Me," "Email Me," or "Write to [Name]." Click it. You'll see a short form — like sending an email.
4
Fill in your name, address, and ZIP code
The form will ask for your full name, home address, and ZIP code. This confirms you're their actual constituent (the people they represent). They only respond to people who live in their state.
⚠️ Use your real home address — senators only read messages from people in their state.
5
Paste the letter from this website into the message box
Scroll down to the "Take Action" section of this page and click "Copy This Letter." Then come back to the senator's contact form, click inside the message box, and press Ctrl+V (or Command+V on Mac) to paste it. Add your name at the bottom.
📋 The letter is already written for you — just copy, paste, and send!
6
Hit Send — then repeat for your second senator
Click Submit or Send. Done! Now go back and do the same thing for your second senator. You have 2 — contact both. The whole thing takes about 5 minutes per senator.
🎉 That's it! You just contacted a U.S. Senator.
Who are they?
Your U.S. House Representative
There are 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives — one for each congressional district. You have exactly ONE. They serve 2-year terms. 290 of them must vote YES to propose the amendment.
1
Go to house.gov and type in your ZIP code
Click the button below. On the house.gov page, you'll see a box that says "Enter your ZIP code." Type in your 5-digit ZIP code (the one on your mail) and press the arrow or Enter key.
Go to house.gov →
2
Click on your representative's name
The website will show you the one person who represents your area in Congress. You'll see their name, photo, and party. Click their name — it takes you to their official website.
💡 If it shows multiple results (happens with some ZIP codes), pick the one whose district includes your street address.
3
Look for "Contact" in the menu at the top
On their website, look at the menu bar at the top of the page. You'll see a tab or button that says "Contact" or "Contact [Name]." Click it.
4
Fill out the contact form
You'll see a form asking for your name, address, email, and ZIP code. Fill these in — they verify you live in their district. Then find the message or comments box.
5
Paste the pre-written letter and send
Go to the "Take Action" section of this page and copy the letter. Paste it into the message box. Add your name. Click Submit.
🎉 Done! You just contacted your U.S. Representative.
Who are they?
Your State Senators & State Representatives
Every state has its own mini-Congress called the State Legislature. It has two parts — a State Senate and a State House. You have one representative in each. They must ratify the amendment after Congress passes it — 38 states need to say YES.
Why state legislators matter: Even after Congress votes, the amendment still needs to be approved by 38 out of 50 state legislatures. Your state lawmakers are the second half of this fight.

Go to OpenStates.org — the easiest tool for this
Click the button below. OpenStates is a free, nonpartisan website that knows every state legislator in all 50 states. It's updated every single night from official government sources.

2
Type your full home address into the search box
You'll see a search bar. Type your full street address — like "123 Main Street, Richmond, VA 23220." The more detail you give, the more accurate the results. Then press Enter or click Search.
💡 Your ZIP code alone may work too, but a full address is better.
3
You'll see a list of YOUR state legislators
OpenStates will show you the specific people who represent you — your State Senator and your State Representative (sometimes called State Delegate or Assemblymember depending on your state). Click each name.
4
Find their email address or contact form
On each legislator's page you'll see their email address, phone number, and sometimes a link to their official website contact form. Email is the fastest. Phone calls are actually even more powerful — a 2-minute call makes a big impression.
📞 Pro tip: A phone call to a state legislator's office is one of the most effective forms of constituent contact.
5
Send the letter or read it on a call
If emailing — paste the pre-written letter from the "Take Action" section. If calling — you can say: "Hi, my name is [Name] and I'm a constituent calling to urge [Legislator] to support a constitutional amendment to remove the natural-born citizen requirement for the presidency." That's all it takes.
🎉 You've now contacted your state legislature. Do this for BOTH your State Senator and State Representative!

Take Action

Make your voice heard.

Every representative and senator needs to hear from their constituents. Use the buttons below to share on social media or copy a ready-made letter to send to any legislator.

✉️ Ready-to-send letter — copy and paste into any legislator's contact form
Dear [Representative/Senator Name], I am writing as your constituent to urge you to support a constitutional amendment to remove the "natural-born citizen" requirement for the U.S. presidency (Article II, Section 1, Clause 5). This 18th-century provision no longer reflects the values of our nation. Millions of naturalized American citizens — people who chose this country, served it, built it, and love it deeply — are permanently barred from its highest office simply because of where they were born. Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City exemplifies the American story: a naturalized citizen who has dedicated his life to public service, won a historic mandate from the people of New York, and represents the kind of leadership this nation needs. I respectfully ask that you support proposing this amendment to the full Congress, consistent with Article V of the Constitution, and that you advocate for its ratification by the states. Amending this clause would reaffirm that America's promise is open to all who commit themselves to this country. America's strength has always come from those who chose to be here. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your City, State] [Your Phone/Email — legislators prioritize verified constituents]
