Bill > HR5842

This bill, known as the No Presidential Payouts Act, aims to prevent the use of federal funds to pay settlements or legal costs for the President, the President's relatives, or any entities associated with them in connection with criminal or civil legal matters. Specifically, the bill prohibits the use of money from the Claims and Judgment Fund of the United States Treasury and blocks any federal funds from being used to compensate the President, their family members, or related entities for legal expenses incurred during investigations or legal proceedings. This legislation effectively ensures that taxpayer money cannot be used to cover legal costs for the President in any criminal or civil legal matters, regardless of the source of those funds. The bill is designed to prevent potential misuse of government resources to shield the President from personal legal expenses, reflecting a broader principle of accountability for high-ranking government officials.
