HRES 1185: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Department of Justice must comply with the Domestic Emoluments Clause of the Constitution by refusing to administratively settle the billions of dollars in legal claims filed against the United States by President Donald Trump.

This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' opinion that the Department of Justice and other federal agencies should not administratively settle legal claims for money filed against the United States by a sitting President, specifically referencing President Donald Trump. The House believes that such settlements would violate the Domestic Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, which prevents a President from receiving payments from the government beyond their official salary. Therefore, the resolution advises the Department of Justice to refuse any administrative settlement of these claims, while clarifying that a President can still pursue lawsuits in independent courts. This position directly affects how the Department of Justice would handle such claims from a President.

S 4331: Modernization of Derivatives Tax Act of 2026

The Modernization of Derivatives Tax Act of 2026 changes how taxpayers report gains and losses from financial derivatives and related investments.

Additionally, the legislation updates existing tax rules regarding straddles and clarifies how corporations handle derivatives related to their own stock.

S 4330: Ending the Carried Interest Loophole Act

The Ending the Carried Interest Loophole Act changes how the IRS treats partnership interests given to employees for their work, specifically targeting financial managers and investment professionals.

The law also establishes a 10-year window during which any future profits earned from these shares are taxed as ordinary income instead of capital gains. Additionally, the bill repeals an existing tax provision that previously allowed certain carried interest payments to be classified as capital gains.
