CLEAR Path Act

This bill would stop certain former high-ranking government officials appointed by the president from working on behalf of specific countries considered a concern to the United States, including China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia, if the goal is to influence U.S. government decisions. The ban applies to people who led or were second-in-command of government departments or held other positions confirmed by the Senate, but only to those appointed after the bill becomes law. The ban would last for five years after the bill is passed. The bill also sets up a way for the State Department to suggest changes to the list of countries of concern, with Congress having the power to approve those changes.
