Gives Congress and states power to regulate money in elections and fund campaigns publicly.
This proposed change to the Constitution would give Congress and states clear power to make rules about money in elections. It would let them set limits on how much money candidates and others can raise and spend. It would also allow them to create systems where public money helps pay for campaigns, aiming to lessen the impact of private wealth.
Today, the ability of Congress and states to regulate money in elections is limited by court interpretations of the Constitution. If this amendment is ratified, Congress and states would explicitly have the power to set reasonable limits on campaign spending and contributions, create public funding systems for campaigns, and treat corporations differently from individuals in these regulations.
