Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill amends federal law to prohibit sitting Presidents and Vice Presidents from receiving damages payments, settlements, or reimbursements from the United States government. It bars them from filing administrative claims against the U.S. and prevents federal agencies from processing such claims. For former Presidents and Vice Presidents, the bill permits claims but requires independent oversight, career employee review, Federal Register publication of settlement terms, and congressional notification. Violations carry penalties including disgorgement, civil fines up to $1 million, and imprisonment.
