This bill is just another example of government overreach. It's ridiculous to think that Presidents and Vice Presidents shouldn't receive damages payments from the United States. They put in the work and deserve to be compensated for any damages incurred while serving our country. This is just another way for the government to control and limit the benefits of our leaders.
