(a) (1) It is unlawful for anyone to solicit or receive money or anything else of value connected with a Federal, State, or local election from a person located in a room or building where a United States officer or employee performs official duties. It is also unlawful for a Federal officer or employee, including the President, Vice President, or a Member of Congress, to solicit or receive such a donation while in such a room or building, from anyone.
