Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States giving Congress power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States.

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the United States Constitution, aiming to grant Congress the explicit authority to prohibit the physical desecration of the U.S. flag. Currently, such prohibitions are limited by First Amendment protections, and this amendment seeks to provide a specific legislative power to address this issue. For this proposed amendment to be adopted, it must secure a two-thirds vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Following congressional approval, it would then need ratification by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within a seven-year timeframe to become part of the Constitution.
