Marriage amendment
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Aschlafly (talk | contribs) at 00:53, September 10, 2007. It may differ significantly from current revision.
The federal marriage amendment states:
- Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.
It has not obtained the 2/3rds majority necessary for a constitutional amendment, but was supported by a majority in the House of Representatives and a plurality (49-48) in the Senate[1] Support flagged quickly in both cases.
