Well looks like here we go again withe the issue of the presidential records. The House voted on and passed H.R. 35, Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2009 and H.R. 36, Presidential Library Donation Reform Act of 2009.
H.R. 35 revokes President Bush’s executive order (E.O. 13233). This ruling invalidates part of E.O. 13233 that allows former Presidents and Vice Presidents to review executive records before they are released under the Freedom of Information Act.
Presidential Library Donation Reform Act of 2009 makes it mandatory to disclose all donations to charities set up to build presidential libraries. It passed the House (388-31).
