The American Political Science Association and the Presidency Research Group are concerned about Executive Order 13233, which restricts public access to presidential records. They believe this order goes against the Records Act of 1978, which aims to make presidential records public without requiring people to prove a specific need. The researchers argue that the government should be responsible for ensuring timely access to these records, as stated in the law. They also dispute the White House's claim of national security needs as a reason for the order, stating that existing laws already protect sensitive documents.
