What this amendment would do

SA 5839, submitted by Mr. Paul, is an amendment to SA 5823, which is proposed for bill H.R. 6644. The purpose of this amendment is to strike section 1001 and replace it with new findings and a "sense of Congress."

The amendment aims to add the following to the bill:

Findings on Property Rights: It states that the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments prohibit the government from taking property without due process. It traces these clauses to the Magna Carta and notes that property rights include the right to acquire, use, and dispose of property. It also cites the 1917 case Buchanan v. Warley to argue that property rights strengthen civil rights.
Sense of Congress: It expresses that Congress rejects any attempt to stop property owners from selling homes to any kind of investor, regardless of the size of the firm. It describes property and contract rights as inalterable principles of individual liberty.
