What this amendment would do

SA 4466, submitted by Mr. Sanders, aims to add a "Sense of the Senate" to bill S. 1383. The purpose is to express that Congress should adopt a constitutional amendment to outlaw Citizens United.

This amendment seeks to change the current landscape by:

  • Affirming that only natural persons as citizens of the United States have the right to vote and the ability to make expenditures and contributions to influence public elections.

  • Clarifying that Congress and the States have the power to protect electoral fairness and integrity, limit the influence of private wealth, and ensure elected officials depend only on the people. This may include:

    • Establishing public financing for elections.
    • Requiring disclosure of contributions and expenditures from candidates, individuals, and associations of individuals.
    • Imposing content neutral limitations on contributions and expenditures.

  • Clarifying that the amendment would not alter the freedom of the press.
