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.

H.J.Res. 61 proposes a constitutional amendment that would give Congress the authority to ban the physical desecration of the United States flag. If ratified, the amendment would allow federal law to criminalize acts such as burning, defacing, or otherwise damaging the flag. The change would affect anyone who might engage in such actions and would empower Congress to create related legislation.
