It was named for its author Jack Reed, and passed into law as part of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.Though the amendment received strong bipartisan support during the committee stage, Democratic lawmakers including Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Chuck Schumer later criticised the amendment as unenforceable due to its unclear wording. Efforts at establishing procedures to enforce the amendment ran into early difficulties, and the executive branch never promulgated the implementing regulations. In 2013 and 2014, Reed made several unsuccessful efforts to insert provisions into various bills in order to update the amendment with clearer definitions of the classes of former citizens to be banned from re-entry, as well as to push the executive branch to issue regulations to enforce the amendment."@en }
