Nixon argues he is answerable to nation not courts
The 34 page White House brief asserts the president is not subject to judicial orders to turn over Watergate tapes, claiming such subpoenas threaten the presidency and that executive privilege shields non disclosure. It outlines that the judiciary lacks power to compel information the president deems not in the public interest and notes potential irreparable damage if forced disclosure. The brief also stresses separation of powers while denying that the president is above the law.
