In federal office, Dave Min took concrete action aligned with the promise by cosponsoring H.R. 8309 on April 15, 2026, a bill to bar presidents and vice presidents from receiving damages payments from the United States and add related guardrails. But the measure was only introduced and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, with no evidence here that it passed, was enacted, or otherwise delivered the promised policy. Because Min is still in office and the effort is real but incomplete, this is better scored as unresolved rather than delivered or never.

Dave Min cosponsored H.R. 8309, the Ban Presidential Plunder of Taxpayer Funds Act, introduced April 15, 2026, which closely matches the promise by restricting presidential and vice-presidential damages or settlement payments from the federal government and adding disclosure/guardrail provisions. The bill was referred to the House Judiciary Committee and there is no evidence it has passed or become law as of the current assessment date, so the promised policy outcome has not been delivered. Because Min materially advanced matching legislation during his federal term, effort credit is warranted, but final delivery remains unresolved rather than delivered or never.
