Bill > HJRes119

This resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to fundamentally reform campaign finance in the United States. The amendment would limit individual campaign contributions to $100 per candidate and $1,000 total in a calendar year, with Congress able to adjust these amounts for inflation. It would completely prohibit corporations from spending money to influence federal elections, effectively removing corporate political spending. The resolution would require Congress to establish a public funding system for federal candidates, providing at least 80% of campaign funds to qualifying candidates. Additionally, the amendment would mandate that unspent campaign funds be returned to the U.S. Treasury and establish judicial mechanisms to enforce these provisions. The amendment also explicitly preserves states' rights to regulate campaign financing in state and local elections while protecting freedom of the press. As a constitutional amendment, it would require ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures and is designed to advance democratic self-governance, political equality, and protect the integrity of the electoral process by reducing the influence of money in politics.
