Democrats are introducing a bill that would require the publication of visitor logs at the White House or any other place President Trump visits.

The kicker is the bill’s acronym is the MAR-A-LAGO Act, which is the name of Trump’s resort in Palm Springs, Fla., where he has stayed on several weekends since becoming president. It stands for the “Making Access Records Available to Lead American Government Openness Act.”
