President Nixon asserted the doctrine of Executive Privilege gave him immunity from being subpoenaed to produce his secret tapes of conversations regarding the Watergate cover-up.
Executive Privilege is an implied constitutional right of the President to withhold information from the other branches of government (Article II). According to Nixon, the conversations were intra-branch, protected by the Separation of Powers, and non-justiciable (not amenable to resolution by a court) because the court lacked jurisdiction over the communications.

How was president Richard Nixon a good Chief Administrator?
While it is quite safe to say - " we don't exactly know" - , it is important to remember that Truman came into play at a time when he alone was the only Candidate fit to make the important decisions at the time. President Harry Truman, quite honestly, was hated following his first year in office and not to mention boo-ed during his pitch to start the World Series yet Harry Truman made some key distinctions that, quite frankly, no one else was even capable nor fit to make... and he called some substantial bluffs on just about every world leader of the day. Such character traits paved the way for America to seal the victory, if you will. Historians have said many times that every so many years an individual comes along at the appointed time, and I do mean appointed, to help shore and sustain a faltering nation to health once again ... Harry S Truman was one such individual. It is also important to note Truman had little in the way of crudentials and he was not a great speaker in the beginning, but through his ability to - "hit the nail right on the head" - helped to catapult his confidence to speak and not to mention, tell it like it is - even when no one cared to hear it. If it needed to be said he could sure say it - and rightly at that.
America and the World would have been tremendously different if Truman didn't make it to the Whitehouse and Americans, both Republican and Democrat, ought never to forget that. (This piece is written by a registered Republican voter)
