(Source: Facebook/Modified by Logically Facts) [...] Under current law, registration with the Selective Service System is not a new requirement; it has existed since 1973. Section 3 of the current Act states: "Except as otherwise provided in this title, it shall be the duty of every male citizen of the United States, and every other male person residing in the United States, who, on the day or days fixed for the first or any subsequent registration, is between the ages of eighteen and twenty six, to present himself for and submit to registration at such time or times and place or places, and in such manner, as shall be determined by proclamation of the President and by rules and regulations prescribed hereunder." The proposed amendment to this law merely seeks to automate the registration process for American men between 18 and 26 in the SSS.
