Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to provide that Congress and the States shall have certain authority to regulate and limit contributions and spending in campaigns for elections for public office, elections for public office, and ballot initiatives and referendums.

This resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution about money in elections. The amendment would state that nothing in the Constitution stops Congress or the states from reasonably regulating and limiting contributions to and spending in campaigns for public office and state or local ballot initiatives or referendums. It would allow laws to treat natural persons differently from artificial entities, such as corporations, and to bar artificial entities from raising and spending money in these campaigns. The amendment would take effect only if three-fourths of state legislatures ratify it within seven years.
