What it does

The Drain the Swamp Act would codify Executive Order 13989 into law, giving it the force and effect of statute. This executive order establishes ethics commitments for executive branch personnel, including restrictions on lobbying after government service and financial conflict-of-interest rules. The bill would affect federal employees and appointees by making these ethics requirements legally enforceable. It was introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
