The Act allows the Secretary to use funds to continue activities the National Law Enforcement Museum was already doing when this law was enacted.

This bill seeks to expunge the January 13, 2021, impeachment of President Donald J. Trump, effectively removing it from the historical record.

The bill asserts that the impeachment should be expunged to ensure Trump is not barred from holding future office.

This bill seeks to expunge the December 18, 2019, impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. It argues the impeachment was based on unsubstantiated claims and lacked the constitutional basis of high crimes and misdemeanors. The bill aims to remove the impeachment record as if it never occurred.

It allows for a death sentence in any trial for the attack, and mandates that if sentenced, these individuals will be held at Guantanamo Bay in solitary confinement with restricted contact and treatment. The bill prohibits their transfer to the continental United States or any other country.

The "Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act" rescinds any unspent funds that were previously allocated to the IRS. These funds were intended for specific activities outlined in section 10301 of Public Law 117-169. The rescission is effective from the date of the enactment of this act.
