CLEAN Congress Act

Citizen Legislature Anti-Corruption Reform of Congress Act or the CLEAN Congress Act

This bill (1) requires bills, orders, resolutions, or votes submitted by Congress to the President to include only one subject that is clearly and descriptively expressed in the measure's title; and (2) makes ineffective any provision of law that excludes its application to a Member of Congress or to an employee in a Member's office.

Bill 119 hr 157, also known as the "Single Subject Act," aims to address two key issues within the US Congress. The first part of the bill seeks to prohibit any single bill or joint resolution presented by Congress to the President from containing multiple subjects. This means that each piece of legislation must focus on a single issue, preventing lawmakers from including unrelated provisions in order to pass them through without proper scrutiny.

The second part of the bill focuses on ensuring the equal application of laws to Members of Congress. This means that lawmakers themselves must abide by the laws they create, without any special exemptions or privileges. This provision aims to promote accountability and transparency within Congress, ensuring that all members are held to the same standards as the general public.

Overall, Bill 119 hr 157 seeks to promote good governance and prevent the abuse of power within Congress by ensuring that legislation is focused and transparent, and that lawmakers are held accountable for their actions.
