Family and Business Protection: These rules also apply to the President's immediate family (spouse and children) and businesses where the President or family members are grantors or beneficiaries.
Statute of Limitations Tolling: Deadlines for suspended cases will be paused and resume after the term ends or election results are certified.
No Impact on Court Access: The law does not limit the President's right to access the court or executive branch agencies from bringing or defending civil actions.
