| | Executive privilege - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Executive privilege is a claim asserted by the President of the United States and other members of the executive branch to justify withholding of documents and information from other branches of government. | | | The Supreme Court addressed the executive privilege in United States v. | | | The concept of executive privilege is a legally murky one, since the Constitution does not mention it anywhere. |

| | Executive agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | If an agreement was in the competence of the United States Congress, it would need to become a congressional-executive agreement or a treaty with Senate advice and consent. | | | An executive agreement can only be negotiated and entered into through the president's authority (1) in foreign policy, (2) as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, or (3) from a prior act of Congress. | | | If an agreement was neither within the competence of Congress nor within the competence of the President (as for example an agreement which would affect powers reserved to the states), it could still be adopted by the President/Senate method but must not conflict with the United States Constitution. |

| | Managerial And Executive Employment Agreements: Drafting An Agreement That Protects Your Company And Is Acceptable To The Employee (And His/Her Lawyer) |
| | If the executive is not performing to the company’s expectations, an open-ended contract, unlike one with an express term, may not provide the necessary impetus to force the company to decide whether it wants to renew the executive’s contract or begin recruiting her replacement. | | | In the event of litigation over the executive’s performance of a particular duty, however, a court may be asked to determine whether that duty existed and, if so, whether the executive’s performance of that duty was up to the company’s standards. | | | If this is the case, the employment agreement should clearly indicate that the individual is an employee, not an independent contractor, by specifying that the individual cannot work for any competitor and that the company maintains the right of control over the individual’s work in the industry. |

| | Executive order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | To date, U.S. courts have overturned only two executive orders: the aforementioned Truman order, and a 1996 order issued by President Bill Clinton that attempted to prevent the U.S. government from contracting with organizations that had strikebreakers on the payroll. | | | The Congress may overturn an executive order by passing legislation in conflict with it or by refusing to approve funding to enforce it. | | | An executive order is an edict issued by a member of the executive branch of a government, usually the head of that branch. |

| | A congressional-executive agreement is an agreement with a foreign power that has been approved by U.S. Congress and the United States. | | | In contrast, a sole executive agreement is ratified by the President alone. | | | The United States courts have rejected this argument, ruling that such agreements are not treaties. |

| | EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE [executive privilege] exemption of the executive branch of government, or its officers, from having to give evidence, specifically, in U.S. law, the exemption of the president from disclosing information to congressional inquiries or the judiciary. | | | Where criminal charges are being brought against a president, as in the case of Richard Nixon, the claims of executive privilege are weakest; during the process leading to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, numerous claims made by the White House were dropped when it was clear courts would not uphold them. | | | Efforts by various presidents since Eisenhower to gain absolute and unqualified privilege have been rejected by the courts, though they remain inclined to support most claims of executive privilege. |

| | BBC News Clinton Scandal Executive privilege explained |
| | Clinton's change of tack was no doubt partly guided by the desire not to be the first president since Nixon to take an executive privilege claim to the Supreme Court, a case he would probably have lost. | | | Executive privilege is a defence used by presidents to stop investigators from prying into conversations held inside the White House. | | | What is so dangerous about the use of executive privilege - and a key reason why Clinton avoided going all the way to the Supreme Court to defend it - are the overtones of the Watergate scandal and downfall of President Nixon. |
