No Fame for Fraud Resolution

This resolution, titled the "No Fame for Fraud Resolution," would amend House rules to prevent members of Congress (including delegates and resident commissioners) who face an indictment for financial or campaign finance fraud from receiving payment for biographies, media appearances, or creative works. It specifically targets offenses like violations of campaign finance laws (under the Federal Election Campaign Act) or certain financial crimes covered under federal employee ethics rules. The rule change would apply only to compensation from these non-legislative activities, not a member's regular salary. This policy directly affects members under indictment for the specified fraud-related charges, restricting their ability to profit from public-facing projects during such legal proceedings.
