It was just last week when Press Secretary Sean Spicer said President Donald Trump's tweets should be viewed as the president's official position.

"The president is president of the United States, so they are considered official statements by the president of the United States," he said.

That statement has prompted fresh debate about whether the president may lawfully delete tweets as he has been doing and as he did May 31 with his infamous tweet that used the word "covfefe." Spicer insisted that was not a typo but instead was a word known to "a small group of people."

Yet the "covfefe' fallout continues to linger, and it has prompted proposed legislation (PDF) that would regulate the US commander in chief's Twitter handle, @realDonaldTrump. The bill would render a sitting president's use of social media covered under the Presidential Records Act. That would make it potentially illegal for a president to delete tweets or other social media posts.

The Monday proposal from Rep. Mike Quigley, a Democrat of Illinois, is called none other than the "Covfefe" Act—an acronym for "Communications Over Various Feeds Electronically for Engagement."

"President Trump's frequent, unfiltered use of his personal Twitter account as a means of official communication is unprecedented. If the president is going to take to social media to make sudden public policy proclamations, we must ensure that these statements are documented and preserved for future reference. Tweets are powerful, and the president must be held accountable for every post," Quigley said in a statement.

If you think Quigley's acronym is a stretch, consider his MAR-A-LAGO Act. The Making Access Records Available to Lead American Government Openness Act would require Trump to open to the public the White House's visitor logs. The proposal also requires Trump to make public the visitor logs of Trump's resorts.

That said, whether Trump can delete tweets is just one legal nuance brought about by the president's love affair with Twitter.

The same day the Covfefe Act was unveiled Monday, a federal appeals court cited one of Trump's tweets as a reason it blocked the president's travel ban. And the week before, two Twitter users whom Trump blocked from his @realDonaldTrump handle threatened to sue, claiming the maneuver was a First Amendment violation because Trump's feed has become a "designated public forum."
