Original Note:
Since the plane is being accepted as a gift to the U.S. Gov (Air Force), used strictly for official purposes, and then transferred to NARA, Congressional consent isn’t required because the gift is to the U.S., not Trump personally (U.S. Const., Art. I, Sec. 9, Cl. 8) https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/reagans/reagan-administration/presidential-gifts#:~:text=Even%20though%20heads%20of%20state,without%20the%20consent%20of%20Congress. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S9-C8-1/ALDE_00013203/#:~:text=Article%20I%2C%20Section%209%2C%20Clause,%2C%20Prince%2C%20or%20foreign%20State.
