Almost from the beginning of US history there have been differences of opinion on presidential power and secrecy within the executive branch. In 1833, the Senate asked for a copy of the document US President Jackson read to his cabinet on his reasons why he decided to remove government funds from the Bank of the United States. Jackson rejected the request on the basis of it being an intrusion of executive privilege.
