The Doctrine of Strategic Ambiguity in Executive Privilege
An analysis of the historical evolution of executive privilege as a mechanism for institutional opacity, often functioning to protect inherited policy failures.
The doctrine serves as a primary vehicle for what the Powell-Rad Path terms 'Name the Lie' electrodes, where executive branches shield administrative continuity from accountability. It effectively masks the Liar's-Heir-Syndrome (LHS) dynamic by treating government continuity as a protected inheritance of truth, regardless of the underlying reality.
