Trump Signs Bill to Strengthen Presidential Transition Ethics Requirements
The bipartisan legislation also has requirements for GSA and other federal agencies.
On Tuesday President Trump signed into law a bill to clarify the General Services Administration’s responsibilities during changes in presidential administrations as well as require presidential candidates to publicly release ethics plans for their transitions before elections.The “2019 Presidential Transition Enhancement Act” (S. 394), amends the 1963 Presidential Transition Act to improve the transfer of executive power between administrations. GSA, presidential transition teams and federal agencies will now have new obligations in the lead-up to Election Day and during the ensuing change in administrations.
The nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, which recently launched a center housing presidential transition information and resources, has been following the bill closely as it has helped craft similar legislation in the past, and praised the bipartisan effort.

trump signed in to law the ethics transition requirement bill he is now violating. I guess he can't claim ignorance of the law. Then again, it's feasible that he had no idea what the bill did when he signed it. But he did enjoy holding bills up for all the world to see with that weird signature. As if to say, "look Mom, I did a boom-boom in the pottie."
