Rep. Mike Quigley of Illinois wants to ensure that President Donald Trump's
impactful social media statements will remain available to U.S. historians
and other interested parties, and has proposed some succinct new
legislation to seal the deal.

Today, the Democratic congressman introduced a bill amending current law
that defines what kinds of media and materials are selected (and
obligatory) for federal preservation [PDF]. Called the *Communications Over
Various Feeds Electronically for Engagement *or* “COVFEFE” Act, *the bill
seeks to add presidential social media accounts to the domain of the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which is tasked under
title 44, section 2201 of the United States Code with maintaining
documentary materials from and pertaining to the president's staff, among
many other things.

In name and in aim, it's a bill for our political moment.

Ladies and gentlemen, Rep. Mike Quigley of Illinois presents: the
*Communications
Over Various Feeds Electronically for Engagement*, or COVFEFE Act*.*

As Congress has taught us time and again, any legislative priority can be
pretzeled into an acronym if you simply toss away the conventions of
standard American English.
