Perhaps there is something that I am missing, but I don't see a problem with requiring people to show some proof of citizenry when they register to vote. With the influx of illegal immigrants, I think it is important that we ensure that only legal citizens are voting in our elections. I imagine that the amendment requiring documentation is non-specific about documentation so that it can be established that proof is required without narrowing it down. For example: What if we go to a National Identification and the amendment requires a passport instead? To change it to the Nat'l ID card would require going back through the whole amendment process again which is timely and costly.
