Donald Trump advisers were reportedly alarmed recently after the president requested for the Declaration of Independence to be moved into the Oval Office.

According to The Atlantic, the advisers were quick to point out the logistical and economic challenges such a move would pose, especially considering the security measures needed to protect such a document.

The outlet recalled that the original document, displayed in the rotunda at the National Archives Building in Washington D.C., is stored behind heavy glass in an "oxygen-free, argon-filled case that can retract into the wall at night for security." There are even restrictions on how often doors can be opened due to light damage to the parchment.

Trump then focused on potentially moving one of the historical copies of the declaration, rather than the original, relieving aides.
