Imp't case, story by @carriejohnson.bsky.social. It's not just president vs. Congress or public; future presidents need to understand prior developments.
Current assertions of pres'l power *compromise* pres'l power: not just by risking backlash, but by undermining the exec's inst'l advantages.

Do Americans own the president's papers? Appeals court to weigh in
