Bill overview
This bill, the Restoring and Enforcing Accountability of Presidents Act (REAP Act), aims to eliminate certain benefits for former presidents who have been convicted of a felony. Specifically, it removes monetary allowances and funding for travel expenses for former presidents convicted of a felony while in office or after leaving office. The bill amends the Former Presidents Act of 1958 to ensure that convicted former presidents are no longer eligible for benefits. It clarifies the definition of ‘finally convicted’ to include both cases without appeal and those that have completed the appeals process.
