Drain the Slush Fund Act
The Drain the Slush Fund Act prohibits the U.S. government from paying any court judgments, settlements, or legal costs resulting from lawsuits filed by the President or Vice President. This restriction applies to all cases pending or filed on or after January 20, 2025, effectively barring federal funds from covering legal expenses for these specific high-ranking officials. By amending Section 1304 of the United States Code, the bill ensures that no money from the Treasury can be used to satisfy financial awards or costs associated with litigation initiated by the President or Vice President.
