What is the McCain-Feingold Bill?
The McCain-Feingold Bill is a bill which was introduced to the United States Senate in 2002 in an attempt to reform campaign financing in the United States. The bill passed after some modifications, and was signed into law by then-President George Bush. Provisions of the bill took effect in November 2002, radically changing the nature of campaign financing in America. Some people felt that the McCain-Feingold Bill did not go far enough, and they continue to advocate for additional reforms.
