This bill would add a new exception to the Federal Tort Claims Act, the law that lets people sue the federal government for money over harm caused by federal employees. Under the change, the law would not cover any claim brought by a sitting President during the term to which that President was elected. The exception would also apply to claims brought during that term by a President's spouse, child, sibling, or in-law.
