Rep. Ritchie Torres to Introduce TRUMP Act: Legislation Would Bar Living Presidents From Putting Their Faces On U.S. Money

In response to reports that the Treasury Department is planning a $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump’s likeness, U.S. Representative Ritchie Torres (NY-15) announced he will introduce the TRUMP (The Restrict Ugly Money Portraits) Act to prohibit any president from issuing currency or coins bearing their own likeness and to require that U.S. money continue to feature only the deceased.

“America’s money should only feature big beautiful faces—not big ugly faces,” said Rep. Torres.
