AI Summary
This bill, the Restraint of Executive In Governing Nation Act of 2020 (REIGN Act of 2020), requires the President to disclose to Congress any "presidential emergency action documents" (PEADs) - a term referring to pre-coordinated legal documents that are designed to be used in an emergency to implement a presidential decision or transmit a presidential request when normal governmental or legislative processes are disrupted. The bill requires the President to submit these documents to certain congressional committees within 30 days of their approval, adoption, or revision, as well as submit all existing PEADs within 15 days of the bill's enactment. This aims to provide greater oversight and transparency regarding the President's emergency powers.
