Trump appears to be target in bill to strip Secret Service protection from convicted felons

One Democratic House representative has filed legislation that would block convicted felons from being protected by the Secret Service — which would affect former President Donald Trump if he is convicted in his trial.
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) introduced legislation on Friday that stated Secret Service protection would “terminate for any person upon sentencing following conviction for a Federal or State offense that is punishable for a term of imprisonment of at least one year.”
The DISGRACED Former Protectees Act reasons those convicted of crimes and sentenced to prison would cause “potential for conflicting lines of authority within prisons.” Additionally, it would “allow judges to weigh the sentencing of individuals without having to factor in the logistical concerns of convicts with Secret Service protection.”
While Trump isn’t named as the main purpose of the legislation, the bill’s fact sheet says his “unprecedented 91 felony charges in Federal and State courts across the country have created a new exigency that Congress must address.”
The bill also says it would apply to Trump if he is convicted. Thompson is a Trump critic, as he was the Jan. 6 committee chairman and recently called an “election integrity” event he held with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) a “sham.”

Not going to pass
And even if it did, more likely would be shot down by a court
These people have to stop making laws and introducing legislation based on their personal vendettas

Since a Democrat introduced bill to strip Secret Service protection from Trump, I can’t wait for Republicans to introduce bill to strip Secret Service protection from president’s children and family members who have federal gun charges and evading taxes.
Who is with me?
