Endorse Constitutional Amendment to allow House by majority vote to undo any bill signed into law during previous house.

Created by W.B. on May 22, 2013

Constitutional Amendment:

During the first 30 days of a new Congress house members may petition for any act signed into law during the previous Congress be given a re-vote. Any such act receiving a number of requests equal to half the number of house members plus one must be submitted for a re-vote in the House during the second 30 days of the new Congress. No House rules may prevent the re-vote once the requisite number of requests have been submitted. For the law to be overturned the House votes to undo the law must exceed the House votes that previously passed the law, and must be a majority vote.

Any legislation signed into law after October 16th of an election year may be extended one additional Congress under the same rules.
