This document is a legal memorandum summarizing various historical opinions from the U.S. Attorney General and the Office of Legal Counsel regarding the constitutional authority of the President to not enforce statutes believed to be unconstitutional. The document, marked 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_012389', does not contain any information related to Jeffrey Epstein or his activities; its relevance is likely due to its inclusion in a larger set of documents released by a congressional committee.
This legal memorandum, dated November 2, 1994, is addressed to Abner J. Mikva, Counsel to the President. It argues that the President has the constitutional authority to decline to execute statutes he believes are unconstitutional, citing judicial precedent from cases like Myers v. United States and long-standing executive branch practice. The memorandum then begins to lay out specific propositions for how and when this authority should be exercised, starting with the President's obligation to act within the bounds of the Constitution.
