Solving an Overlooked Loophole in Votes for Executives (SOLVE) Act

HR 4491 establishes a temporary 6-member panel of constitutional experts to study how to resolve vacancies in presidential or vice-presidential elections if a candidate dies. The panel, appointed by congressional leaders, must submit an interim report within one year and a final report six months later, with no new funding provided beyond the Law Library of Congress’s existing resources. This procedural bill does not enact new election rules but aims to address a gap in the Twentieth Amendment process.
