A federal candidate can't keep money they raised for any personal use. It has to be used for future campaigns or donated to other campaigns or similar organizations. When a campaign is terminated it still has to file with the FEC until there is no money left in its account. The campaign organizations of Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Bush, Kerry, McCain, Romney and Obama are still filing with the FEC.
