I think the ask is genuine. I think it is very minimal, just that an error was made, that it be corrected.

it is extremely difficult to believe that an individual who is not the son of the sitting U.S. President would be treated this way.

I am blessed to introduce H.R. 2437 to revise the boundaries of a unit of the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System in Topsail, North Carolina, and for other purposes.
