Lummis said the agreement would be remembered as a president choosing a higher ethical standard than the law required and called for lawmakers to pass the bill now.
Sen. Lummis backed an ethics deal tied to the CLARITY Act and called for the legislation to move immediately. In remarks this week, she said, "History will remember this as the moment a president chose a higher standard of ethics than the law required of him," and added, "Let's get the Clarity Act passed NOW." The comments frame the agreement as both an ethics benchmark and a push to accelerate action on the bill.
