[EL] about the new Presidential Commission on Election Administration

[Doug Hess]

Regarding the new Presidential Commission on Election Administration
(PCEA perhaps?), in what capacity does such a body exist? Is it
created by executive order? Is it funded out of a pot of money the
White House has for special projects? Or will Congress authorize funds
for it in some manner or have any role in creating it? I assume it has
no authority (other than over some staffing and budget for research,
travel, publication, etc.). Correct?

Just wondering what kind of "animal" these commissions are (or can be).
