This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would eliminate the Electoral College and replace it with a direct popular vote for president and vice president. Under the proposal, voters would cast a single vote for a pair of presidential and vice presidential candidates, and the ticket receiving the most votes nationwide would win the election. Congress would retain the authority to establish laws addressing scenarios like candidate death or disqualification before the election is decided, as well as procedures for handling tied elections. The amendment would take effect one year after ratification, and it requires approval from two-thirds of both the Senate and House, followed by ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures to become part of the Constitution.
