How did US President John Tyler increase presidential control of information to Congress?
ChuckSiata
The ever developing presidential claim to control the flow of information, and deny Congress and the public of official actions, was given a boast by President John Tyler. In 1843, Congress asked for Army reports on the Cherokee land frauds. Tyler denied Congress its request. He used the occasion to add a new category to the list of presidential discretion. That being the ability to not release any information on ongoing investigations.
