Stop Padding Presidential Pockets Act
This bill requires the President to reimburse the U.S. Treasury for Secret Service protection and related government costs when traveling for personal business interests tied to entities owned by or benefiting the President (Section 2). It bans the President from soliciting donations for presidential libraries or museums while in office and mandates annual reports from the President and private library entities (Section 4). Additionally, it prohibits the President from operating businesses, serving on boards, or engaging in day-to-day business operations during their term, with any income from such activities subject to a 100% tax (Section 5). Immediate family members engaging in prohibited business activities must submit quarterly reports to Congress. The bill directly affects the President and their immediate family by imposing financial accountability measures for potential conflicts of interest.
