Laws cannot target a single person. This is so unconstitutional

Trump isn't named but anyone "twice impeached" would be targeted. Problem with that is: impeachment is the act of bringing charges, regardless of the outcome. This would violate the 5th amendment in that he will be deprived of liberty without due process... you know... found guilty.

On further review this actually is prohibited by Article I Section 9.

No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

Because the bill explicitly states

  1. create or display any symbol, monument, or statue commemorating any former President that has been twice impeached by the House of Representatives on or before the date of enactment of this Act
