A resolution to call upon the United States Congress to propose and send to the states for ratification a constitutional amendment to clarify that the states and Congress may set reasonable limits on the spending of money to influence elections, including distinctions between natural persons and artificial entities.
This bill is a resolution that asks Congress to propose a new constitutional amendment allowing both state and federal governments to set reasonable limits on election spending. The proposed amendment would explicitly permit lawmakers to distinguish between individual voters and artificial entities like corporations, unions, and artificial intelligence when regulating campaign finance. By clarifying that such spending restrictions are constitutional, the measure aims to prevent unlimited money from influencing election outcomes while protecting the free speech rights of average citizens. Although introduced in the House of Representatives, the resolution does not become law on its own but instead seeks to initiate the process for amending the U.S. Constitution.
