The Presidential Records Act: Who Really Owns the President's Papers?

At "AI on Capitol Hill" we use artificial intelligence to increase transparency and engagement with our government. This episode dives into the Presidential Records Act of 1978, which plays a critical role in defining ownership and access to Presidential records.


Key Points:
