Very unlikely to pass

This bill is a political move aimed at a specific person and is unlikely to get support from both parties or pass through a divided Congress.

Key Points

This bill would create a new tax that takes 100 percent of any money a person receives from certain legal settlements.
It specifically targets money from settlement funds created when a president sues the Internal Revenue Service.
The bill aims to stop any president from using their position to get money through legal fights with the government tax agency.
If this becomes law, any person who gets a payment from such a settlement would have to give the entire amount back to the government as a tax.
