Presidential Disclosure of Foreign Business Transactions Act This bill directs the President: (1) within 90 days after first assuming office, to submit to the Department of the Treasury an initial report detailing any private business transaction with a foreign government conducted by the President during the previous 10 years; and (2) each month thereafter, to submit a report detailing any private business transaction between businesses affiliated with the President and foreign governments during that month.

Such reports shall be made available on Treasury's public website. A violation of this bill shall constitute a high crime and misdemeanor for purposes of the Constitution's impeachment provision.
