It is the executive privilege that has been interpreted to mean that a president can shield information from congress as a result of the separation powers. In the United States, this privilege gives the president and other members of the executive to refuse subpoenas from the legislative group of the government to access any information from them. Presidents have the power to keep confidential information to avoid unnecessary issues that may affect the government and the country. For example, if there’s an issue with the military and the president decided to keep this information, then it will be keep.

What contributed the most to the coming of the american revolution?
Drupady [299]
The 13 colonies believed that they deserved all the rights that people in Britain had, while Britain thought that the 13 colonies were best used in a way that benefited their country (crown,parliament). The British tried to impose taxes on the colonies because King George III had spent a lot of money on the French and Indian War. The colonies were outraged. One of the most famous outcries was the Boston Tea Party (taxed tea was shipped out and a bunch of colonists dressed up as Indians decided to throw the tea into the ocean)

What does a system of checks and balances protect against
antiseptic1488 [7]
Iit protects against any branch of the government trying to abuse its power. This way all powers are shared and equal. This goes even for the president, he alone cannot mandate orders. It takes approval of branches (judicial, legislative, executive) to get to a deal. :)
