Sanders, one of 19 Democrats competing to take on Republican President Donald Trump in the November 2020 election, would replace the Federal Election Commission with “a true law enforcement agency” and rid party conventions and presidential inauguration ceremonies of corporate sponsorship, according to a statement from his campaign.
Sanders also proposed a constitutional amendment that “makes clear money is not speech and corporations are not people,” intended to undermine U.S. Supreme Court decisions that allow unrestricted spending through political action committees and tax-exempt advocacy groups. The proposal comes as Sanders, 78, is recovering from a health scare that forced him to cancel campaign events last week.
