Stop Ballroom Bribery Act: Limiting Donations to White House and Officials.

This law imposes strict limits on accepting donations for the White House, the Vice President's residence, related events, and monuments honoring living officials. The goal is to prevent corruption and undue influence by individuals with vested interests, such as lobbyists, federal contractors, or those under investigation. Citizens benefit from increased transparency through mandatory disclosure of donors and their communications with high-ranking officials.
Key points
Individuals involved in federal litigation, lobbyists, and federal contractors are prohibited from making donations to projects linked to the President or Vice President.
Donors' names cannot be publicly displayed, and donors face a two-year ban on lobbying the executive branch after making a contribution.
All donations over $200 and any meetings between donors and the President or VP must be publicly disclosed quarterly.
The President, VP, or their families are banned from soliciting these donations, and funds cannot be converted for their personal use.
