Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States giving Congress power to regulate campaign contributions for Federal elections.
Summary
House Joint Resolution 21 proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would grant Congress and individual states the specific authority to regulate financial contributions to political candidates and spending on election-related advertisements. The measure also establishes a constitutional ban on noncitizens and foreign agents donating to candidates or spending money to influence the outcome of American elections. If passed, this amendment would provide lawmakers with broader legal power to set limits on campaign financing and political messaging that are currently restricted by existing judicial interpretations of the First Amendment.
