A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to the authority of Congress and the States to regulate contributions and expenditures intended to affect elections and to enact public financing systems for political campaigns.

This joint resolution proposes a change to the Constitution that would let Congress and state governments set fair, neutral rules on how much money candidates and others can raise and spend to influence elections. It would also allow Congress and the states to create public funding systems for campaigns, including ones meant to reduce the power of private wealth in elections. The amendment would let lawmakers treat regular people differently from corporations and other organizations created by law, including allowing them to ban those organizations from spending money to influence elections.
