Contact Congress about H.R. 2553: No More Political Prosecutions Act of 2023

Presidents, vice presidents, and former holders of those jobs could ask to move state court cases to federal court. The rule would cover civil lawsuits, criminal prosecutions, and cases already pending when the bill becomes law.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

No More Political Prosecutions Act of 2023 is a House bill in Congress.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects current and former Presidents and Vice Presidents who face cases in state court. It also affects state prosecutors, people suing these officials, and federal courts. They may have to handle fights over whether a case belongs in state court or federal court.

Why this matters: This bill could change where major cases against Presidents and Vice Presidents are heard. State cases could move to federal court, where judges may handle questions about federal power and official duties differently. The effect would depend on how often people use the new rule and how federal judges read it.

Key provisions in H.R. 2553

  • The bill changes 28 U.S.C. § 1442(a), the federal law that lets some federal officers move state cases to federal court. It adds Presidents, Vice Presidents, former Presidents, and former Vice Presidents to that law.
  • These officials could use the new rule in both civil lawsuits and criminal prosecutions.
  • The new option would apply to cases already pending when the bill becomes law. It would not be limited to future cases.
  • The bill would not dismiss or decide any case by itself. It would only affect whether state court or federal court may hear it.
  • The bill keeps the current removal rules for other federal officers. It adds this new group on top of those rules.
