Presidential Records

Presidential Records refer to documents and materials created or received by the President of the United States during their time in office. These records include a wide range of items such as memos, emails, photographs, and official correspondence. Under the Presidential Records Act of 1978, these materials are considered public property and must be preserved and made accessible after a president's term ends. This ensures transparency and accountability in government, allowing the public to understand the decisions and activities of their leaders. However, some sensitive information may be withheld for security or privacy reasons.
