Bill Summary
This concurrent resolution memorializes the Congress of the United States to propose an amendment to the United States Constitution, for ratification by the states, providing that Congress and the states shall have the power to prohibit the physical desecration of the American flag.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution respectfully urges the United States Congress to propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would grant Congress and individual states the authority to prohibit the physical desecration of the American flag. The resolution, a formal expression of opinion from a legislative body, highlights the flag's historical and symbolic importance as a representation of American ideals and struggles, arguing that its protection from dishonor is not an infringement on free speech. It notes that the House of Representatives has previously supported such an amendment, but the Senate has not, and that many state legislatures have also called for this constitutional change.
