What it does
The Protecting Our Democracy Act aims to prevent abuses of presidential power, restore congressional oversight and transparency, and defend elections from foreign interference. It would impose new requirements on presidential pardons, including congressional oversight and financial disclosures by recipients, prohibit self-pardons, and strengthen enforcement of ethics laws, emoluments clauses, and subpoena compliance. The bill also enhances whistleblower protections, requires tax transparency for the president and vice president, and imposes stricter rules on foreign influence in elections and use of federal property for political purposes.
