Executive privilege is the right to confidentiality in papers and conversations relevant to the conduct of the affairs of state.
Executive privilege allows SPECIFIC documents and conversations to be designated as necessarily confidential for the conduct of official business.
Executive privilege can NOT be a blanket, general order against any and all cooperation.
Executive privilege can NOT be used solely to prevent legitimate legislative oversight, especially by the person whose conduct is being looked into. That is not executive privilege; that is OBSTRUCTION.
To be fair, it’s highly doubtful Trump even knows what the Constitution says about the presidency. It’s more than 3 sentences with no pictures or mentions of Trump, so he has no desire to ever read it.
I thought it was the Left that believes the Constitution doesn’t mean what it says, that it is a living, breathing, evolving document that must keep up with the times. They should embrace someone they see as sharing those beliefs.
Trump can’t read at a level more than that of a young gradeschool child, but he CAN recognize certain words. He probably has skimmed the Constitution (during TV commercials or while waiting for his next instructions from Putin) looking for “Trump” and “covfefee” and “hamberder.” He also probably thinks the Constitution was born in Germany!
Let’s see, attack the Electoral College, try to pack the Supreme Court, do everything possible to squelch free speech, disobey immigration laws, declare democratic elections illegitimate, falsely claim the President is a traitor… Tell me again, who is attacking the US Constitution?
For him, “Executive Privilege” seems to be just like “white privilege” is for black people: I doubt he has any idea that what he’s doing isn’t legal. Even many years ago, when he had to be brighter than now, he was well understood to be simplistic, self-centered, and unable to understand the idea of “win-win”.

He wants to change it to begin: “Me, The President”.

A third panel “Executive Action” would show him pulling his fat ass out of a golf cart that is parked on a putting green.

Republicans are at war with the Constitution.
They are actively destroying our system of checks and balances to favor them.
The Trump admin has denied the House’s legal requests for any and all documents.
McConnell will not allow any bills from the House up for vote unless it pleases Trump.

#45, with no respect for the Constitution or the American people, is only interested in fattening his wallet and his ego!
