Bill > HR2593

This bill, known as the "MARALAGO Act," aims to prevent the President or former President from financially benefiting from Secret Service protection at their personal residence. Specifically, the bill prohibits federal funds from being used by the Secret Service to pay the President for lodging, meals, office space, or any other expenses related to protection at the President's residence. However, the bill does allow a President or their owned entities to voluntarily gift these services to the Secret Service. The legislation appears to be a response to concerns about potential conflicts of interest where a sitting or former President might charge the government for using their own property during official protection. The bill's name is a clear reference to former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, suggesting it was prompted by specific recent events involving presidential protection and potential financial gains. By preventing federal reimbursement while allowing voluntary gifting, the bill seeks to eliminate any appearance of the President profiting from Secret Service protection.
