Presidential Records Act

The Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978,

The Presidential Records Act (PRA) of 1978, 44 U.S.C. §§ 2201–2209,[1] is an Act of the United States Congress governing the official records of Presidents and Vice Presidents created or received after January 20, 1981, and mandating the preservation of all presidential records. Enacted November 4, 1978,[2] the PRA changed the legal ownership of the President’s official records from private to public, and established a new statutory structure under which Presidents must manage their records. The PRA was amended in 2014, to include the prohibition of sending electronic records through non-official accounts unless an official account is copied on the transmission, or a copy is forwarded to an official account shortly after creation.[3]
