Lawrence Lessig: Citizens Unite
Interesting approach:
>Lawrence Lessig: Citizens Unite.
... an amendment that recognizes what no one has ever asserted -- that whether or not they are persons, corporations are not United States citizens. And if there is something appropriate to keeping the conversation about who is to govern us to us citizens, there may well be something appropriate in protecting elections against undue influence by non-citizens.
A simple amendment would give Congress precisely this power:
Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to restrict the power to limit, though not to ban, campaign expenditures of non-citizens of the United States during the last 60 days before an election.
