What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Termination of Reckless Unchecked Mandates from this President Act" or the "TRUMP Act," aims to limit executive power during funding gaps.

These restrictions would take effect on or after the date the Act is enacted. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on October 3, 2025.
