This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would give Congress the power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States. The proposed amendment text is one sentence: "The Congress shall have power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States." The resolution sets a ratification deadline of seven years and requires approval by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states to become part of the Constitution.
If the amendment is ratified by the required number of states, Congress would have the constitutional authority to pass laws banning the physical desecration of the U.S. flag. Right now, this is only a proposed amendment. The resolution was introduced in the Senate on June 12, 2025, and has been read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary.
