HR 8174 United States House · 119th Congress

To amend title 31, United States Code, to prohibit the issuance of United States currency and securities containing the signature of the sitting President.

This bill would prevent the sitting President's signature from appearing on U.S. currency and securities while they hold office. It directly affects the Treasury Department and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing by requiring them to stop using the current President's signature on new bills and bonds. The law allows for a waiver only if Congress passes a specific law explicitly authorizing the use of the President's signature. This change would mean that any money or government bonds printed after the bill takes effect would feature a different official's signature instead.
