Bill > HR2499

This bill seeks to codify Executive Order (EO) 14248, which is titled "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections", into federal law. By codifying the executive order, the bill would give the order the full force and effect of law, meaning its provisions would have the same legal standing as a statute passed by Congress, rather than being a directive issued solely by the President. In other words, the bill transforms the executive order from an administrative directive into a legally binding piece of legislation. The bill does not provide the specific details of the executive order's contents in this text, but suggests that the order relates to maintaining the integrity of elections in the United States. Codifying an executive order is a method by which Congress can permanently enshrine presidential directives into statutory law, potentially making them more difficult to rescind or modify by future administrations.
