AI Summary
This bill, the "Citizen Legislature Anti-Corruption Reform of Congress Act" or the "CLEAN Congress Act," aims 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.
Specifically, the bill states that each bill, order, resolution, or vote submitted by Congress to the President must embrace no more than one subject, and that subject must be clearly and descriptively expressed in the title of the bill, order, resolution, or vote. This provision would apply starting with the 118th Congress and all subsequent Congresses.
Additionally, the bill mandates that any provision of law that provides an exception in its application to a member of Congress or an employee of the office of a member of Congress shall have no effect. However, this does not apply to provisions of law or rules that permit members of Congress or their employees to carry out official duties directly related to lawmaking, such as entering and using the U.S. Capitol and other related buildings and facilities.
