SJRES 34 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States authorizing the Congress to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States.

This proposed constitutional amendment would authorize Congress to pass laws prohibiting physical desecration of the U.S. flag, such as burning, mutilating, or trampling it. If ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years of congressional submission, it would enable federal laws to criminalize such acts. The amendment requires states to approve it within a seven-year window after the Senate introduces the resolution.
