H.R. 3776 — Don’t Settle for Bribes Act of 2025

This section requires a court to immediately stay further proceedings in any civil action filed, initiated, or continued by a presidential candidate within 90 days of the general election, the President-elect, or the President, until the end of that person’s term as President or, if the candidate is not elected, the date on which the House of Representatives ratifies the election results.

This section establishes special rules applying the restriction (1) to each member of the President's immediate family and (2) to any business or entity if the President or a member of the President's immediate family is listed as a grantor or beneficiary.

This section tolls any statute of limitations applicable to a civil action stayed pursuant to section 2 during that person's term as President (resuming at term's end) or, for candidates for President not elected, until certification of the presidential election. (Thus, the stay period does not count against the limitations period.)

This section states that nothing in the Act (1) prohibits the President's right to access the court or (2) precludes an executive branch agency from bringing or defending civil actions involving the United States government.
