In December 2016, Warren announced her intention to introduce the bill to address perceived conflicts of interest held by president-elect Donald Trump.[3][4]
The bill would require, if passed, the President and Vice President, as well as their spouses, to divest of conflicting assets through a qualified blind trust; require presidential appointees to recuse themselves if any matter would substantially affect the President;[clarification needed] and prohibit the President and Vice President from participating in federal contracts. In addition, this bill would require the President, Vice President, and any major party nominee to be President or Vice President to disclose their three most recent tax returns.[5]
