A bill to prohibit chief executive officers convicted of crimes relating to corruption from serving in the executive branch, and for other purposes.
Key claim: S5107 would bar chief executive officers convicted of corruption-related crimes from serving in the U.S. executive branch.
Abstract
(S5107 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-23): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Why this matters
S5107 would impose a categorical eligibility bar on executive-branch service for CEOs previously convicted of corruption-related crimes, extending federal personnel-integrity rules beyond conventional suitability review into a statutory disqualification. For workers, it narrows the pool of senior appointees with certain criminal histories; for employers (federal agencies), it introduces a bright-line vetting criterion layered atop existing OPM suitability and MSPB adverse-action frameworks. Status: introduced.
