Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the sixteenth article of amendment.
HJRES 14 proposes repealing the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which currently authorizes Congress to levy income taxes. If enacted, this would eliminate the federal government's power to collect income taxes from all sources, except during a formally declared war by Congress. The bill includes a two-year implementation period after ratification and requires the Treasury Secretary to submit a report on necessary legislative changes within 180 days of ratification. This proposal directly affects all U.S. taxpayers and the federal tax system, but remains a formal constitutional amendment proposal pending ratification by 38 states.
