On March 9th 2015 47 United States Senators signed a letter to Iran on United States Senate letterhead stationery. Sen. John McCain has stated publicly that this letter was signed “during a senate lunch” therefore:
a. Since this letter was written on official United States Senate letterhead stationery, was this an official act of the U.S. Senate?
b. If a.(above) was an official act of the U.S. Senate were proper records kept and recorded as required by law?
c. If a. (above) was not an official act, do the U.S. Senators have the legal authority to use official United States Senate letterhead stationary for personal use?
d. If a. (above) was an official act of the U.S. Senate, were they within legal rights to conduct official business where they were having a senate lunch?
