Presidential Conflicts of Interest Accountability Act

This bill would apply the federal criminal conflict-of-interest law to the President and Vice President. Within 30 days of taking office, each would have to give Congress and the Office of Government Ethics a detailed disclosure of their own and their family's financial interests, along with recent tax returns. They and their spouses and dependent children would have to move any financial interest posing a potential conflict, including payments from foreign governments, into a blind trust, where the trustee would sell it. The Office of Government Ethics would report on these interests each year, and the U.S. Attorney General or a state attorney general could go to court to enforce the rules.
