This bill would amend federal law to prevent the President and certain family members from suing the federal government under the Federal Tort Claims Act, which normally allows individuals to seek damages for injuries or losses caused by federal employees or agencies. Specifically, the legislation would block claims brought by a sitting President or their spouse, children, siblings, or in-laws during their presidential term. The bill was introduced in November 2025 by a group of House Democrats and referred to the Judiciary Committee. No specific funding or implementation timeline is outlined in the legislation, as it is primarily a legal amendment that would restrict access to existing lawsuit procedures rather than establish a new program or spending requirement.
