S 4593 United States Senate · 118th Congress

No More Political Prosecutions Act of 2024

S 4593, the "No More Political Prosecutions Act of 2024," amends federal law to remove a legal protection for the President, Vice President, and former Presidents/Vice Presidents. Specifically, it deletes language in Section 1442(a) of title 28, U.S. Code, that previously shielded these officials from lawsuits related to their official duties. This change means civil suits or criminal prosecutions against these top officials for actions taken in office would no longer be blocked by this specific legal provision. The bill applies to cases pending or filed after its enactment.
