Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the sixteenth article of amendment.
Summary
This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to repeal the 16th Amendment, which currently gives Congress the power to collect income taxes. If passed and ratified by three-fourths of the states, the federal government would lose its authority to tax personal and corporate incomes, except during a declared war.
For citizens, this would effectively eliminate the federal income tax system and require the government to find alternative ways to fund its operations or significantly reduce spending. The bill also requires the Secretary of the Treasury to provide recommendations to Congress on how to implement these changes within 180 days of the amendment's ratification.
