Due Process Guarantee Act

Summary

Due Process Guarantee Act This bill amends the federal criminal code to limit the detention authority of the United States. Current law prohibits the indefinite detention of a U.S. citizen by the United States unless it is authorized by an act of Congress. This bill prohibits the indefinite detention of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident by the United States unless it is consistent with the Constitution and expressly authorized by an act of Congress. Additionally, it specifies that a general authorization to use military force or similar measure, on its own, does not authorize the indefinite detention of a citizen or lawful permanent resident who is arrested in the United States.
