The Presidential Records Act (PRA) changed the legal status of Presidential and Vice Presidential materials. Under the PRA, the official records of the President and his staff are owned by the United States, not by the President.

* The Archivist is required to take custody of these records when the President leaves office, and to maintain them in a Federal depository...

..."§2202. Ownership of Presidential records
"The United States shall reserve and retain complete ownership,
possession, and control of Presidential records; and such records shall
be administered in accordance with the provisions of this chapter...

..."(f) (1) Upon the conclusion of a President's term of office, or if a
President serves consecutive terms upon the conclusion of the last term,
the Archivist of the United States shall assume responsibility for the
custody, control, and preservation of, and access to, the Presidential
records of that President.
