Evidence
"Today, Congressman Jimmy Gomez introduced legislation to prohibit the signature of President Donald Trump from appearing on United States currency or securities." The page states the legislation would amend title 31 to prohibit issuance of U.S. currency or securities containing the signature of an individual during any period in which that individual is serving as President.
GovInfo lists H.R. 8174 as introduced in the House on April 2, 2026, with last action date April 2, 2026, and action: "Mr. Gomez introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Financial Services."
The introduced bill text states: "To amend title 31, United States Code, to prohibit the issuance of United States currency and securities containing the signature of the sitting President." It also provides the operative amendment: currency or securities containing the signature of an individual may not be issued during any period in which such individual is serving as President.
GovInfo lists H.R. 8174 as 119th Congress, 2nd Session, sponsored by Jimmy Gomez, with last action date April 2, 2026: Mr. Gomez introduced the bill and it was referred to the Committee on Financial Services. The related-documents section lists only the April 2, 2026 Introduced in House version.
The official introduced House text says H.R. 8174 is a bill to amend title 31 to prohibit U.S. currency and securities from containing the signature of the sitting President. It states that on April 2, 2026, Mr. Gomez introduced the bill and it was referred to the Committee on Financial Services.
Gomez's official House office announced on April 2, 2026 that Congressman Jimmy Gomez introduced legislation to prohibit President Donald Trump's signature from appearing on United States currency or securities, and described the bill as amending title 31 to bar issuance of currency or securities bearing a sitting president's signature.
Assessments
The promise was specifically to introduce legislation, not to secure enactment. Official bill records and Gomez's House announcement show that on April 2, 2026, Jimmy Gomez introduced H.R. 8174 in the 119th Congress to amend title 31 and prohibit U.S. currency or securities from containing the signature of a sitting President. That matches the promised action and occurred while he was serving in federal office.
The promise was specifically to introduce legislation prohibiting a sitting president's signature from appearing on U.S. currency or securities. The evidence shows Gomez did exactly that by introducing H.R. 8174 on April 2, 2026, and the bill text matches the pledged policy. Because the commitment was to introduce legislation rather than to enact it, the promise was fulfilled upon formal introduction during his current term.
