What If…There Were No Executive Privilege?
When a U.S. president wishes to keep information secret, he or she can invoke executive privilege.
If there were no executive privilege, a president would have to be aware that all of his or her words, documents, and actions could be made public.
There would probably be fewer records of administration’s activities.

What If…There Were No Executive Privilege?
Without executive privilege, the president might experience problems in waging a war on terrorism.
The White House would have a difficult time regulating the flow of past presidential records into the public forum.
