What case in 1792 brought President Washington into a dispute with the US congress over executive privilege?
The issue regarding executive privilege came up early in the new republic. The House of Representatives was investigating the failure of the US expedition of General St. Clair against Native Tribes in the northwest. The House wanted to receive the executive branch's documents in order to properly investigate the matter. President Washington believed that the request in itself was proper, however, such documents might be extremely sensitive, in fact too sensitive for public release. This was a new issue and Washington sought the advice of his cabinet on the issue. The cabinet discussed the matter and advised Washington that the request be honored with one exception. This was that any document whose release might endanger the public interest not be turned over to the House. After a thorough review of all the documents, none were that "secret". Therefore, Washington authorized the complete set of documents be turned over as requested.

US President John F. Kennedy, invoked presidential or executive privilege only once during his tenure of the presidency. That was in February of 1962. At that time a US Senate committee, wanted to know the names of Secretary McNamara's subordinates that were deleting Defense Department reports and also removing " war like" passages from US generals and admirals. Kennedy relied that the names were not required and that Secretary McNamara took full responsibility for any deletions, and in so many words meant " it won't happen again".Later Senator Stennis, agreed with Kennedy, however, Stennis did not concede any ground on future requests from Congress.Basically, Stennis saw no need to have the names of the subordinates since the executive branch apologized. It became clear by his action, that the concession in no way precluded future requests that Congress might have concerning other issues.
