HJRES 102 United States House · 119th Congress

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States providing that the Senate is made more representative by adding twelve Senators to be elected using a national popular vote, and providing for twelve Electors at-large for President and Vice-President, who shall cast their ballots for the respective winners of the national popular vote.

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to add 12 Senators elected by a national popular vote, expanding the Senate to include members chosen by all voters nationwide rather than state-based elections. It also adds 12 Electoral College electors who would cast votes for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates receiving the most votes across the entire country. The new Senators would serve six-year terms with one-third elected every two years, meeting the same age and citizenship requirements as current Senators. The amendment requires ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures to take effect.
