Yes, the "MAR-A-LAGO Act."
The legislation would require the publication of White House visitor logs, something that was done regularly by the Obama administration but has since ended since President Trump took office. It would also mandate the release of visitor logs at other locations where the president conducts business -- for example, Mar-a-Lago, Trump's Florida resort that he has recently called the Southern White House.
Introduced by Sens. Tom Udall of New Mexico, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Tom Carper of Delaware and Rep. Mike Quigley of Illinois, it comes after the president spent five weekends in Mar-a-Lago since his inauguration.

They should also introduce legislation to repeal the legislation that Sen Marco Rubio passed to sabotage Obamacare two years ago - make sure that America knows WHY there are some counties in America in which there is only ONE insurance provider who can no longer afford to provide services to that county!

(2,108 posts)Repubs often speak of running America like families run a household or owners run a business.
While I don't agree with the analogy, let's hold them to their words and set a budget for the president's recreational activities...like households do.
Companies set travel budgets for their employees...let's set a limit for the presidency!

(2,108 posts)And the veracity of their rhetoric... Well, I don't know what would ~
Best way to see what republicanism is really all about is to see what happens when they get the keys...and to then witness the silent acceptance of their base.
Quite telling ~
You're brave to go looking...makes my blood boil too quickly to wade over there.
