Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to restrict campaign contributions for candidates to eligible voters.

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States:

Article XXVIII
Campaign Contributions Limited to Eligible Voters

Section 1. Only natural persons who are eligible to vote for a candidate may contribute money or anything of value to that candidate’s campaign.

Section 2. No organization, association, corporation, or other entity shall make, fund, direct, or facilitate contributions to any candidate’s campaign.

Section 3. No person shall make a contribution to any candidate’s campaign on behalf of, or using funds provided by, any individual or entity not eligible to contribute under this article.

Section 4. Congress and the States shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Statement of Intent

The purpose of this amendment is to ensure that electoral influence over candidates for public office is limited to those who are entitled to vote for them. By tying campaign contributions directly to voter eligibility, this amendment strengthens representative democracy, reduces external and institutional influence over elections, and preserves the principle that elected officials should be accountable only to their constituents.
