Congressional Access to Executive Branch Information
Reviews precedents established during George Washington's Administration for withholding documents from Congress. Addresses various forms of Congressional leverage which may force executive officials to release documents they would otherwise keep confidential, including appropriations power, impeachment power, appointment power, issuing of Congressional subpoenas, holding executive officials in contempt, House resolutions of inquiry, testimony by White House officials, claim of "national security," GAO investigations, Federal court request for full disclosure, and blocking nominations.
