On February 26, 2008, Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) attempted to bring the “Presidential Library Donation Reform Act” (H.R. 1254) to the Senate floor under unanimous consent. However, Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK) objected to consideration of the bill unless an amendment was adopted applying the disclosure requirements to administrations serving on or after January 21, 2009. The effect would be to exempt President George W. Bush from the more stringent reporting rules that cover library funding for the current and future presidents under the bill.
