What it does
The No Presidential Self-Serving Lawsuits Act of 2026 would prohibit the President from filing any civil action against the United States, including any settlement agreements arising from such suits. It specifically voids the settlement agreement in the case Trump v. Internal Revenue Service and bars the use of federal funds to establish compensation funds for or recover costs related to such presidential lawsuits, requiring the Treasury Secretary to recover any improperly spent funds. The bill applies to current and former Presidents and aims to prevent self-serving litigation that uses public resources.
