Bill > SJRes58

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the United States Constitution that would grant Congress the specific power to prohibit the physical desecration of the American flag. The proposed constitutional amendment requires approval by two-thirds of both the Senate and House of Representatives, and would become part of the Constitution if ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures (which means 38 out of 50 states) within seven years of its submission by Congress. The key provision is a single sentence that empowers Congress to create laws preventing physical desecration of the flag, which would potentially override previous Supreme Court decisions that had protected flag burning as a form of free speech under the First Amendment. This resolution represents an attempt to provide constitutional protection for the flag by allowing Congress to criminalize actions that are considered disrespectful or damaging to the national symbol.
