Prohibiting Politicians' Names and Likenesses on Government Checks
A new bill aims to prevent the use of government checks for political self-promotion. This means federal checks will no longer feature the signatures, images, or names of the President, Vice President, or other officials, unless the check is directly payable to them. The goal is to ensure public funds are not used for electioneering.
Key points
Federal government checks will not bear the names, signatures, or images of the President, Vice President, or other elected officials.
This change aims to separate public funds from personal political promotion, enhancing transparency in spending.
An exception applies if the check is made out directly to the official in their personal capacity.
