H.J.Res. 218 — Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to abolish the electoral college and to provide for the direct election of the President and Vice President of the United States.

This section proposes a constitutional amendment establishing direct popular election of the President and Vice President by voters in the states and the District of Columbia. Each voter would cast one vote for a joined candidate pair, with the pair receiving the most votes elected; Congress could enact laws addressing candidate death, disqualification, or ties before the election is complete. The amendment would take effect one year after the first day of January following ratification by three-fourths of the states.
