Stop Lobbying for Foreign Governments

What it does

The Fighting Foreign Influence Act would bar former members of Congress, senior executive-branch officials, and retired generals and admirals from ever registering as agents of any foreign government, and require American think tanks to disclose large gifts from foreign governments.

The narrower CLEAR Path Act (Cornyn / Welch) covers only China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Cuba — leaving out the two governments that have hired the most former American lawmakers, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

How members will be scored

Recorded as supporting if they are a cosponsor of the Fighting Foreign Influence Act or an equivalent bill that covers all foreign governments (not just the five adversary nations).
