Bill Summary
Expressing support for a comprehensive political reform plan.
AI Summary
This resolution expresses support for a comprehensive political reform plan addressing several key issues in American governance. The plan includes prohibiting Members of Congress from accepting political action committee (PAC) and lobbyist contributions, implementing a lifetime lobbying ban, banning congressional stock trading during tenure, requiring members and their families to place investments in blind trusts, establishing 12-year term limits for Congress, creating a binding code of ethics for Supreme Court Justices, and implementing 18-year term limits for Supreme Court Justices. The resolution is grounded in public opinion data, noting that approximately 70 percent of Americans distrust the government, 59 percent want major government reform, 5 out of 6 Americans support congressional term limits, and over 80 percent support restrictions on stock trading by elected officials. The proposed reforms aim to reduce the influence of special interests, increase government transparency and accountability, prevent conflicts of interest, and restore public confidence in democratic institutions by addressing long-standing concerns about incumbent advantages, potential corruption, and the concentration of political power.
