Reply To: Is it illegal for the president to delete a tweet?

Since the president, and all political office holders, are working 24/7 (unlike lowly civil servants who have fixed schedules, get paid overtime and have guaranteed vacations), and argument can and is being made that political office holders (including the president and the cabinet) have no “private” email or twittering, etc., since they are doing the work on company time, and it is clearly job related. Once you decide that a politician is “on duty 24/7” then all of their “work product” is subject to federal records keeping laws and need to be archived for posterity. Whether this is a wise policy, or even a feasible one, is yet to be determined.
