What the Amendment is About
This amendment, labeled SA 1419 and submitted by Ms. Rosen, is about protecting Americans and holding our government officials accountable when it comes to Social Security benefits.

Specifically, this allows Congress to pass laws that prohibit Executive Branch officers or employees from taking actions that limit Americans' ability to access their Social Security benefits.
The text notes that these prohibited actions could include:
