Bill: A resolution directing the Senate Legal Counsel to bring a civil action in the name of the Senate to enforce the Foreign Emoluments Clause contained in clause 8 of section 9 of article I of the Constitution of the United States.
Details: This resolution directs the Senate Legal Counsel to file a lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump for alleged violations of the Foreign Emoluments Clause. It highlights several business transactions as unauthorized foreign emoluments, including a $500 million foreign investment in the Trump family's cryptocurrency project, World Liberty Financial, a multi-billion dollar stablecoin deal involving Binance, and the sale of $635 million in a $TRUMP memecoin to foreign nationals.

Bill: GENIUS Act
Details: The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. It defines permitted issuers (insured depository institutions, their subsidiaries, and approved nonbank entities) and mandates 1:1 reserve backing with specific high-quality assets. The bill outlines federal and state regulatory oversight options, sets requirements for customer asset segregation, and grants stablecoin holders priority in insolvency proceedings. It also clarifies that regulated payment stablecoins are not considered securities or commodities under various acts. The bill designates issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring compliance with AML, KYC, and sanctions regulations to prevent illicit finance and safeguard national security. It also reinforces U.S. leadership in digital finance by supporting innovation and ensuring the dollar remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global financial landscape.
