Bill > HR5988

This bill proposes an amendment to the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), which is a law that allows individuals to sue the federal government for certain types of damages caused by federal employees. Specifically, the CORRUPT Act would create a new exception that prevents the President of the United States or their close relatives (defined as spouse, child, sibling, or in-law) from filing any legal claims during the President's elected term. The bill appears to be specifically targeted at limiting legal actions by or on behalf of a sitting president, though no specific president is named in the text. By adding this provision to section 2680 of title 18 of the United States Code, the legislation would effectively block the President and their family members from pursuing tort claims against the government while the President is in office. The bill's acronym CORRUPT suggests it may be a politically motivated piece of legislation designed to address a specific situation or potential legal strategy.
