Bill Summary

AI Summary

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to enhance the representativeness of the U.S. Senate and presidential election system by creating twelve new national at-large Senate seats and twelve national at-large presidential electors. These twelve Senators would be elected through a national popular vote, with each Senator serving a six-year term and meeting the same eligibility requirements as state-based Senators. The Senators would be divided equally among three Senate classes, with one-third of seats up for election every two years. The first election would occur no later than the second regularly scheduled general election after the amendment's ratification. In case of a vacancy, the state where the Senator last resided would appoint a replacement from the same political party. The amendment also establishes twelve national at-large presidential electors who would cast their votes for the presidential and vice-presidential candidates who win the national popular vote. Eligible voters would include U.S. citizens 18 and older who are registered to vote and meet their state's voting requirements. The election would be administered by states but overseen by a federal entity designated by Congress, with the goal of making national elections more directly representative of the popular will.
