Preamble: Whereas the United States Government has seen fit to allow states to decide to
whom the benefits of marriage may extend, allowing state legislature to ban the marriage of
same-sex couples (happening especially among bible-belt states), which is illegal and
immoral under the written Constituion of these United States of America, citing the natural
rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness,

SECTION 1: All couples will be extended the right of a federal civil union (Referred to as
marriage for the functions of this act) while residing in the United States of America.
Marriage shall not be denied a couple based on gender, sexual orientation, religion, or any
other defining factor used to categorize an individual.

SECTION 2: This law shall apply to all people who have been residing in the United States
legally for at least three months, regardless of which state they reside in. Any illegal alien
residing in this country is exempt from federal benefits and is therefore not compliment with
this bill.

SECTION 3: Being that such marriages fall under terms already established as illegal and
immoral in society of the majority of beliefs, religious or not, the freedom of marriage does
not apply to
Sub-SECTION A: Any polygamous marriage
Sub-SECTION B: Any marriage binding a non-human individual
Sub-SECTION C: Any marriage featuring a person restricted by
Section 2 of this bill.

SECTION 4: Regarding the supremacy clause of the United States Constitution: any state
law created that bans any form of marriage as listed in Section 1 of this bill is herewith
disbanding and declared unconstitutional. Any of these laws is considered void after this bill
is put into effect.

SECTION 5: This bill shall be enacted exactly 90 days after being signed, as standard with
non-emergency legislature.
