This legislative proposal seeks to amend section 1304 of title 31, United States Code, which governs judgments, awards, and compromise settlements. Its primary objective is to prohibit the authorization of payments for any judgment, award, compromise settlement, interest, or costs that originate from a lawsuit or claim initiated by the President or Vice President. This measure aims to prevent federal funds from being used to satisfy such claims. The provisions of this bill are designed to be retroactive and prospective , applying to any case currently pending or any new cause of action that arises on or after January 20, 2025. This ensures that the limitations are broadly applied to relevant legal proceedings involving the nation's top two executive officials.
