in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This section lets Congress fund the President's travel costs, up to $100,000 a year. The President decides how to spend that money and simply certifies the spending — no other accounting is required.

This section is not split into lettered parts. Congress may set aside money for the President's travel costs, up to $100,000 per year. Once appropriated, the President alone decides how to spend it, and accounts for it only by the President's own certificate — no further proof or itemization is required.
