Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed comes close. No candidate sets any time limit on a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. Two of the candidates are appropriations laws, one is a Freedom of Information Act docket, and the two executive orders concern the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the food supply chain. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
