Don’t Settle for Bribes Act of 2025

Pauses civil suits by President and family

If enacted, courts would have to pause civil cases filed by the President, the President‑elect, or a person who is a candidate for President within 90 days of the general election. The pause would apply to filing, starting, or continuing a case. It would also cover the President’s spouse and any child, and any business where they or the President are listed as a grantor or beneficiary. The pause would last until the President’s term ends. For a candidate who is not elected, it would last until the House certifies the election results. Time limits to bring these cases would stop during the pause and restart when it ends. This would not block the President from going to court or stop executive agencies from bringing or defending cases for the United States.
