I’m not a lawyer but I would believe using Executive Order to withhold documents from the Congress is very illegal! Perhaps unconstitutional!

Just ask Richard Nixon

an aside, re: "The Greatest Honor History Can Bestow is the Title of Peacemaker"

-- too bad for Nixon's legacy, that's the kind of squishy liberalism that Nixon & co. were all too prone to embrace ... even if ....like GW Bush.... Nixon was so loathed by many fellow liberals. The greatest title history can bestow is

DEFENDER OF FREEDOM!!

If that also results in a lasting peace in the near term then so very much the better -- but this idea of "peace" above all else is the kind of squishy pseudo-idealism which sounds nice but frequently leads to subservience before the vicious enemies of freedom (whether communist or Islamist or fascist or combinations thereof). It's ALWAYS possible to have "peace" on the terms of the enemies of freedom.
