Definition
The presidential right to keep certain information private, which is basically calling "no tag-backs" on sensitive documents. It's the constitutional equivalent of "I know something you don't know" but with significantly higher stakes.
Example Usage
"The president invoked executive privilege over the meeting notes, which either means they contain vital national security information or that someone drew a really embarrassing doodle during the briefing."
