Katherine Clark from the 5th district of Massachusetts intends to hold President-Elect Trump and V.P.-Elect Pence accountable.
On Nov. 17th She introduced Presidential Accountability Act (H.R. 6340).
From her site:
Current law prohibits Federal office holders from engaging in Government business when they stand to gain profit. The President and Vice President are currently exempt from this statute. Clark’s Presidential Accountability Act removes this exemption and requires the President and Vice President to place their assets in a Certified Blind Trust or disclose to the Office of Government Ethics and the public when they make a decision that affects their personal finances.
This bill has some teeth,
From section 2 of the bill:
“(f) A violation of subsection (a) shall constitute a high crime and misdemeanor for the purposes of Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution.
