The US Congress recognized that in many cases, transactions by the US president should remain within the executive branch. With that said, in 1844, US President John Tyler was determined to avoid public debate concerning a treaty to annex Texas. He attempted to "sneak" the treaty of annexation through the Senate in executive session. This strategy was defeated and the attempt was published in the newspaper called the Evening Post.
