Don’t Settle for Bribes Act of 2025

This bill imposes a mandatory court stay on civil lawsuits involving presidential candidates, the President-elect, or sitting Presidents during the 90 days before a general presidential election and throughout their term. It also applies to the President's immediate family (spouse or children) and any business or entity where the President or family member is a grantor or beneficiary. The stay automatically pauses all proceedings, including tolling the statute of limitations, until the end of the President's term or until the election results are certified if the candidate isn't elected. The law explicitly does not prevent the President from accessing courts or block government agencies from filing civil actions involving the U.S. government.
