Requires reports to Congress on presidential pardon recipients and limits political donations from those who get them.
This bill would require the government to send Congress a report on the background of presidential pardon recipients. It would also stop people who receive a pardon from giving more than $1,000 to the President's political campaigns or related groups.
Today, there is no law requiring the government to publish a written explanation for why a President grants a pardon. Also, there are no specific federal limits on political donations from pardon recipients. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Justice would have to send Congress a report on a pardon recipient's background and risk within 30 days. These recipients would also be limited to donating no more than $1,000 to the President's political campaigns or related groups.
