Can someone explain to me how we are in a situation where some people are claiming that trump can claim executive privilege on things that happened during his administration and there are other people that claim that only the sitting president can claim executive privilege on anything that ever happened in and administration?
Has this literally never been decided? Statutorily or in case law?
I think the answer is in the title, itâs executive privilege , not ex-executive privilege.

There arenât that many cases actually dealing with executive privilege. US v Nixon established that it exists, but that it has limits. Generally, such limits would be determined through future cases and there havenât been enough presidents (or ex-presidents) misbehaving to an extent that it went to the Supreme Court for those limits to be clearly defined. One example of those limits being determined was when Clinton unsuccessfully tried to assert executive privilege to prevent aides from being called to testify regarding Monica Lewinsky. The limit of executive privilege arguably shouldnât be determined by statute, since the privilege arises out of the separation of powers and Congress determining the limits of the privilege would violate that separation. Usually, conflicts regarding executive privilege are resolved via negotiation and application of norms.
The idea of executive privilege is that the president should receive advice without concern for political appearances or fear of reprisal. It should be obvious that advisors might be less than candid if their advice was not protected by executive privilege beyond their presidentâs term. This would be why George W. Bush asserted executive privilege to protect Janet Reno from having records subpoenaed by Dan Burton, then chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, despite Reno being from a previous administration.
I would argue that Trump can claim executive privilege concerning some things that occurred during his administration, but his activity concerning January 6 is not one of them.

Damn, this is who I was thinking of. Itâs absolutely spot on. My apologies to Ripley Jr.
Thereâs a reason our SCOTUS thread title references calvinball.

So which is it? If youâre saying that trump can claim it, then the decision about the Reno case should have been Clintonâs, not Bushâs.
It should really be the responsibility of the current administration to protect executive privilege, but the former regime should be able to assert the privilege as a second line of defense should the current administration fail to do so.
But Donnie Dumb Dumb didnât really lose the election because it was stolen, so he never really stopped being President. Chessmate libtard.
Actually, considering this interpretation means he only has one more year of eligibility left to be president, Iâm for it!
No, if someone is President and then the SOCIALISTS steal the next election, then that person become President For Life. Itâs in Constitution, do your own research!
