S 5365 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Stop Adversaries Meddling in American Elections Act

This bill requires the President to notify Congress and take specific actions if a "country of concern" (like Russia, China, or Iran) attempts to influence U.S. elections through disinformation. The President must inform relevant congressional committees within 30 days and, unless waived for national security reasons, publicly reveal U.S. government information about corruption, unexplained wealth, or misconduct involving senior officials or governing parties in that foreign country. The goal is to counter foreign interference by exposing such information to citizens of the target nation, aiming to undermine adversary efforts. It directly affects the President’s executive response to foreign election meddling, with Congress overseeing the process.
