I'm not sure she can.

There was another thread on this today where I posted the definition of terms from the act. The First Lady is not mentioned, and I think it would be a stretch to have her covered under executive privilege.

Could you link (or post a url) for that helpful information you posted? Thanks.

I too heard "executive privilege" invoked in another article, and thought huh, how does that work?

Then I vaguely remembered that President Slick might've conferred executive status on Hillary for the purposes of her "health care task force."

(But I get the impression the lock-up covers more of her records than just the task force.)

Also, remember that Hillary grabbed AlGore's office space away from him in the West Wing, as BJ was inaugurated (at least, the office that would traditionally have gone to the VP). First Ladies up to that point had operated out of the East Wing -- but not Hillary, the first co-president!

Could there be a bizarre interpretation of the executive privilege act that extends its...uh...penumbra to cover all workers in the West Wing -- simply because they work in the West Wing?
