President Obama Calls for a Constitutional Amendment to Overturn the Citizens United Decision

President Obama recently did an “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) session on the popular website, Reddit.com. The site is an aggregator of content as well as an online community.

One of the questions that the president received had to do with the influence of money in politics:

“What are you going to do to end the corrupting influence of money in politics during your second term?”

The president said that the problem with politics now is that we have a system with a “no-holds barred flow of seven- and eight-figure checks” to super-PACs that are designed to influence the political process.
