OpenCongress Summary
Eliminates the public matching funds program for presidential elections that was established in the late 70s as a response to Watergate. Under this bill, presidential candidates would no longer be able to opt for federal funds during their campaigns instead of fundraising from private individuals and corporations. It would also end public funding of party conventions and force the parties to pay for their conventions with money from donors. The bill is expected to eliminate $520 million in federal spending over the next ten years.Official Summary

Amends the Internal Revenue Code to terminate: (1) the taxpayer election to designate $3 of income tax liability for financing of presidential election campaigns; (2) the Presidential Election Campaign Fund; and (3) the Presidential Primary Matching PaymentOfficial Summary
