EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE
Le « privilège de l'exécutif » est le droit dont bénéficie le président des États-Unis de ne pas divulguer au Congrès ou au pouvoir judiciaire certaines informations jugées confidentielles ou devant rester secrètes pour des raisons de sécurité nationale. Plusieurs présidents ont tenté d'obtenir un droit au secret total, y compris pour des motifs personnels, mais la Cour suprême s'y est opposée.
