Now. in line 13 of the same section. in order to carry out this same idea. I move to strike out the word "those" ant insert "persons of foreign birth." so as to read: And by persons of foreign birth above that age who have declared on oath. etc. Then. in line 14. after the word "oath." I move to insert: As required by the naturalization laws of the United States. So that as amended the clause will read: The right of suffrage and of holding office shall be exercised only by citizens of the United States above the age of twentyone years and by persons of foreign birth above that age who have deelared on oath. as required by the natnralitation laws of the United States. before a competent court of record. their intention to become citizens by taking an oath to support the Constitution. Then we shall take up another amendment. which meets the one already made in the first part of the section.
