The 119 days spent overseas have cost taxpayers millions of dollars. At the same point in their respective presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 116 days on 28 trips, Bill Clinton had spent 113 days on 27 trips and Ronald Reagan had spent 73 days on just 14 trips.
The methods for recording vary, but book and page systems or document numbering systems are common. Specific real estate documents, such as deeds, mortgages, deeds of trust and liens, are considered recordable. The clerks charge a small fee to record documents, and that fee usually is based on the number of pages. After a real estate deed is filed or recorded, the original is returned to the grantee.
A deed is deemed to be recorded when it has been duly acknowledged or proved and is deposited in the office of the recorder of deeds, with the proper officer, for recording. A deed must be recorded by the county clerk (also known as the county recorder) in the county where the subject property is located. Recording is required in order to give notice of the transfer of real property to subsequent buyers and to people with claims against the property.
