No Presidential Payouts Act
To prohibit the use of Federal funds to pay the President a settlement for costs associated with being investigated by the Federal Government, and for other purposes.
This bill, called the "No Presidential Payouts Act," aims to stop the federal government from using taxpayer money to pay the President if they are investigated. It would prevent settlements for costs related to any federal investigation of the President. This means that if the President is investigated by federal authorities, they would not receive a payout from federal funds for related costs.
The bill would affect the President of the United States by barring them from receiving such payouts. It does not impact the general public directly but is a measure aimed at ensuring public funds are not used for such purposes.
As of October 28, 2025, the bill has just been introduced in the House of Representatives and has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. No further action has been taken yet. This is the first step in a long process where the bill will need to be reviewed, possibly amended, and voted on by the committee before it can move forward in the legislative process.
