## Summary

**Creates absolute immunity for the President from Federal Tort Claims Act lawsuits.** The bill would also bar FTCA claims against anyone who becomes President while a tort claim is pending and would apply regardless of when the alleged act occurred. - Families and individual plaintiffs: Would lose the ability to bring federal tort claims under the FTCA against the President, closing one path to damages. - Individuals who become President while sued: Would be shielded from FTCA claims that are pending when they take office. - Legal effect and scope: The measure explicitly removes these claims from the FTCA waiver of sovereign immunity and covers claims pending on enactment and claims filed afterward.
