11. Presidential Protection
Wed Jun 20, 2012, 11:14 AM

Presidents protect each other regardless of the political party. As prior posters had said this may involve some very deep undercover operations and the release of said information could endanger those people. While I do not agree with the abuse of Executive Privilege is it necessary that the president regardless of party be able to have discussions that involve the covert operations as well as discussing issues that may walk a the line of legality. These discussions should not be subject to the whims of congress, otherwise people will not give their advice freely if they feel they could appear before congress.
