The Change Corruption Act stops living U.S. presidents from appearing on money. Affects future currency designs by the U.S. Mint and Treasury.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Change Corruption Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
Latest action on S. 3408: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
Who this affects: The bill mainly affects the U.S. Mint and Treasury Department, who design and produce U.S. currency. It also impacts sitting and future presidents by preventing their images from appearing on money. Everyday Americans will not see any changes in the currency they use.
Why this matters: The bill reinforces democratic values by keeping currency free from personal promotion by sitting presidents. It ensures that U.S. money continues to honor historical figures rather than current leaders. This move is seen as a way to maintain the integrity of national symbols and prevent the 'cult of personality' often seen in other countries.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
