Bill creates new federal crimes to protect U.S. presidents from harm and threats.
The problem
Presidents face security threats. Current laws may not adequately address all threats to presidential safety and protection.
The proposal
Establishes federal criminal offenses for harming, threatening, or interfering with presidential protection. Increases penalties for crimes against sitting or former presidents.
The impact
Presidents and their families gain legal protection. Law enforcement gains tools to prosecute threats. Citizens could face charges for certain speech or actions.
Creates clear legal consequences for threats or attacks on presidents. Gives federal authorities explicit tools to prevent and prosecute violent acts. May deter potential threats through stronger penalties.
Federal agencies gain defined crimes to enforce and prosecute. Allows consistent application across state lines. Creates uniform standards for presidential protection nationwide.
Extends legal protection to former presidents and their families. Addresses safety gaps after someone leaves office. Recognizes ongoing security needs for past leaders.
Could chill legitimate political criticism of presidents. Depends on how 'threats' and 'interference' are defined. Risk of prosecuting speech protected by the First Amendment.
Without clear definitions, 'interference' with protection could be interpreted very broadly. May lead to unequal enforcement. Could be used to silence political opponents.
Provides enhanced legal protection for presidents but not other high-risk groups. Questions fairness of special status. Other public figures also face serious threats.
Determining intent behind statements can be difficult. May strain law enforcement resources. Could result in false accusations or over-prosecution.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
