This resolution expresses support for a comprehensive political reform plan designed to address declining public trust and perceived conflicts of interest within the U.S. government. The plan outlines several key areas for reform, including congressional operations and the Supreme Court. For Members of Congress, the resolution calls for prohibiting the acceptance of contributions from political action committees and lobbyists , imposing a lifetime lobbying ban , and establishing 12-year term limits . It also seeks to ban Members from holding and trading individual stocks during their tenure, requiring investments to be placed in a qualified blind trust . Regarding the Supreme Court, the resolution supports instituting a binding code of ethics for Justices to increase transparency and prevent conflicts of interest. Furthermore, it advocates for implementing 18-year term limits and regular appointments for Supreme Court Justices to rebalance and restore judicial independence.
