Although post-civil war presidents were mostly compliant regarding requests for executive information by the US Congress, President Grant believed one such request so much pure harassment and refused a particular Congressional request for executive information. It seemed that the House was resentful over Grant's Summer retreat to Long Branch, New Jersey. They demanded to how many executive acts he performed while away from Washington DC. Grant rejected the request as being trivial and spiteful.
