You're most likely referring to a bill of attainder. This is a bill that essentially purports to declare a specific person guilty of a crime, bypassing courts entirely (because if the law specifically says you're guilty, there's nothing for the court to determine). These could be used to punish the political enemies of the people in power and are therefore not allowed in the United States.
