This bill would speed up lawsuits against the sitting President in civil cases by requiring courts to prioritize these cases on their dockets and resolve them as quickly as possible. The legislation applies specifically to cases where the President has a personal financial interest or is accused of sexual harassment, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct, provided the President is properly named as a defendant and the complaint states a valid legal claim. The bill allows either party to request that cases be heard by a special three-judge panel and permits direct appeals to the Supreme Court, which would be required to take the case and expedite its review. The legislation does not include specific funding or implementation timelines, as it primarily creates procedural rules for the federal court system. This bill would affect anyone filing civil litigation against a sitting President in these specific circumstances, as well as the federal judiciary's case management practices.
