Shown Here: Introduced in House (06/12/2017) Communications Over Various Feeds Electronically For Engagement Act of 2017 or the COVFEFE Act of 2017
This bill amends provisions governing presidential records to: (1) revise the definition of "documentary material" to include social media; (2) revise the definition of "presidential records" to include any personal and official social media account; and (3) define "social media" as any form of electronic communication (such as a website for social networking and microblogging) through which users create an online community to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos).
This bill would have made it a violation of the Presidential records act if Trump deleted a tweet. That is why Trump posted "despite the negative press, Covfefe" and deleted it minutes later. This tweet was also made 12 days before the bill was even introduced. - https://files.catbox.moe/ohzuwz.jpg
