Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the sixteenth article of amendment.

Bill 118 hjres 47, also known as the "Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the sixteenth article of amendment," is a proposed legislation that seeks to repeal the sixteenth amendment of the United States Constitution. The sixteenth amendment, ratified in 1913, grants Congress the power to levy an income tax on individuals and corporations.

If passed, this bill would require a constitutional amendment to be ratified by three-fourths of the states in order to repeal the sixteenth amendment. This would effectively remove the federal government's authority to impose income taxes on individuals and businesses.

Supporters of this bill argue that repealing the sixteenth amendment would limit the government's power to tax its citizens and promote fiscal responsibility. They believe that the current tax system is burdensome and unfair, and that abolishing the income tax would lead to a more efficient and equitable tax system. Opponents of the bill, however, argue that repealing the sixteenth amendment would severely limit the government's ability to generate revenue and fund essential programs and services. They believe that the income tax is a necessary tool for funding government operations and that eliminating it would have negative consequences for the economy and society as a whole. Overall, Bill 118 hjres 47 is a controversial piece of legislation that raises important questions about the role of taxation in the United States. It remains to be seen whether this bill will gain enough support to pass through Congress and ultimately amend the Constitution.
