Since its enactment in 1962, [18 U.S.C. 207](/usc/18/207.md) has been amended several times. As a consequence of these amendments, former executive branch employees are subject to varying post-employment restrictions depending upon the date they terminated Government service (or service in a “senior” or “very senior” employee position).
