Ohio businessman and 2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is touting a plan he says will spark patriotism in young voters. Ramaswamy is proposing a “Civic Duty Voting” Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“The United States faces a 25 percent recruitment deficit in the military, and just 16 percent of Gen Z say they’re proud to be American. The absence of national pride is a serious threat to our Republic’s survival,” Ramaswamy wrote on his website.
