Bill Summary
To prohibit a single bill or joint resolution presented by Congress to the President from containing multiple subjects and to require the equal application of laws to Members of Congress. This bill (1) requires bills, orders, resolutions, or votes submitted by Congress to the President to include only one subject that is clearly and descriptively expressed in the measure's title; and (2) makes ineffective any provision of law that excludes its application to a Member of Congress or to an employee in a Member's office.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the CLEAN Congress Act or the Citizen Legislature Anti-Corruption Reform of Congress Act, has two key provisions. First, it requires that any bill, order, resolution, or vote submitted by Congress to the President must contain only one subject, which must be clearly and descriptively expressed in the title. This applies to the 116th Congress and all subsequent Congresses. Second, the bill states that any law that provides an exception in its application to a member of Congress or their staff will have no effect, with the exception of provisions that permit members and their staff to carry out official duties directly related to lawmaking, such as accessing the U.S. Capitol.
