History

Historical Context

On July 24 1974 the U.S. Supreme Court, in United States v. Nixon, issued an 8-0 opinion written by Chief Justice Warren Burger ordering President Richard Nixon to turn over all White House tapes. The ruling rejected an absolute executive privilege, forced compliance, and within sixteen days led to Nixon’s resignation, establishing a precedent that courts can curb presidential overreach.
