No More Political Prosecutions Act of 2023
Summary
H.R. 2553, the No More Political Prosecutions Act of 2023, would allow current and former presidents and vice presidents to move legal cases brought against them in state courts to federal courts. Under current law, these officials can generally only move cases to federal court if the legal matter involves their official duties. This bill would expand that authority to include any civil or criminal case, regardless of whether the actions in question were part of their official government responsibilities. For citizens, this change would shift the venue of such legal proceedings from local or state jurisdictions to the federal judicial system.
