I was very interested in your section today on the debate over Executive Privilege, but I'm rather confused by the Constitutional origination of the idea. I know that certain things are tacked on to the commerce clause to justify any number of things, but I reread Articles I and II this morning and I didn't see anything that jumped out as "this phrase is the mother of Executive Privilege". If anything the reread this morning pointed to the idea that we should have less Federal Government, and the the President if anything is the employee of Congress. So I was wondering where did they pull this out of the Constitution?

Help me Gabfest, you're my only hope!
