Trump's tweet prompts new legislation


Democratic Congressman Mike Quigley on Monday introduced the so-called COVFEFE Act, a reference to Trump's most famous typo yet, when last month he mysteriously tweeted from his personal account: "Despite the constant negative press covfefe." It was unclear what he was trying to say, and the word "covfefe," of course, does not exist in English. Yet the matter highlights a more serious issue about whether tweets should be included under the Presidential Records Act. "In order to maintain public trust in government, elected officials must answer for what they do and say; this includes 140-character tweets," Quigley said. The COVFEFE acronym in Quigley's legislation stands for: "Communications Over Various Feeds Electronically for Engagement."
