Question

what is one reason members of congress might place limitations on the federal election commission? limiting the fec allows members of congress to keep their options open while raising money for reelection. limiting the fec helps close loopholes in earlier laws related to federal campaign financing. limiting the fec helps undercut the supreme courts ruling in the citizens united case.

Explanation:

Members of Congress may limit the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to have more flexibility in fundraising for re - election. Closing loopholes (which would require strengthening, not limiting) and undercutting Supreme Court rulings (a more complex legal and political maneuver not simply a matter of limiting the FEC in a general sense) are less likely immediate reasons compared to the self - serving aspect of re - election fundraising.

Answer:

Limiting the FEC allows members of Congress to keep their options open while raising money for reelection.
