HR 2553 United States House · 118th Congress

No More Political Prosecutions Act of 2023

HR 2553, the "No More Political Prosecutions Act of 2023," amends a specific legal provision (Section 1442(a) of Title 28, U.S. Code) to exclude the President, Vice President, and former officials from being sued under that section. The bill removes existing language allowing civil or criminal cases against these officials and adds a new provision explicitly barring such actions. It applies to all pending cases or new prosecutions filed after the law's enactment. This change directly affects high-level federal officials by limiting legal challenges against them under this particular legal mechanism.
