A bill to require individuals who lobby the President on pardon issues to register under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 and to require the President to report any gifts, pledges, or commitments of a gift to a trust fund established for purposes of establishing a Presidential library for that President after his or her term has expired.

This bill aims to increase transparency regarding the presidential pardon process and the funding of presidential libraries. It would require any individual who lobbies the President or executive branch officials for a pardon or clemency to register as a lobbyist and publicly disclose their activities. Additionally, the bill would require the President to disclose the source and value of any donations or pledges over $5,000 intended for their future presidential library. For citizens, these measures are designed to provide public oversight into who is influencing executive legal decisions and to prevent potential conflicts of interest involving large financial contributions to a President’s legacy projects.
