Summary
The proposed "Citizen Legislature Anti-Corruption Reform of Congress Act" aims to enhance legislative transparency and accountability by introducing two key reforms. It mandates that any bill or resolution presented to the President must address no more than one subject , which must be clearly expressed in its title, thereby preventing the practice of bundling unrelated issues. Furthermore, the bill requires the equal application of all laws to Members of Congress and their employees, effectively nullifying any existing legal exceptions for them. This provision ensures that elected officials are subject to the same legal standards as the general public. However, it clarifies that this equal application does not restrict Members or staff from performing official legislative duties, such as accessing the Capitol.
