Preserving Our Constitution Act of 2026

This bill would bar federal courts, judges, agencies, and other federal decision-making bodies from recognizing or enforcing any foreign law, religious law, custom, or practice that conflicts with the U.S. Constitution and federal law. It would bar these bodies from enforcing contract terms that choose such laws or send disputes to forums that apply them, and from enforcing foreign court decisions based on such laws. Courts could not dismiss a case for being in an inconvenient location if the other forum would not protect each party's constitutional rights. Failing to follow the bill would be grounds for reversal on appeal, but the bill would not create a right to sue for damages or an injunction, and it would keep arbitration agreements enforceable unless enforcement would violate constitutional rights.
