AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes the federal law that covers payments of court judgments, awards, and settlements from the U.S. Treasury (31 U.S.C. 1304). It would bar any judgment, award, compromise settlement, interest, or costs from being paid under that law when the payment comes from a lawsuit or claim filed by the President or Vice President. The rule would apply to any pending case and to any cause of action arising on or after January 20, 2025.
