Bill overview
This bill, the Zero Tolerance for Political Violence Act of 2026, aims to increase penalties for violence targeting high-ranking federal officials. It amends existing law to establish mandatory minimum sentences of 25 years or life in prison for anyone who attempts to assassinate a Member of Congress, a member of the Cabinet, a Supreme Court Justice, the President, the Vice President, or certain presidential staff. The bill seeks to deter politically motivated violence against these individuals by significantly increasing the potential punishment.
