Heather Cox RichardsonHOST
In 1989, the head of the Office of Legal Counsel, William Barr, wrote a memo warning officials in the George H.W. Bush administration to be wary of legislative encroachments on the president's authority.

When he later became attorney general, he backed Bush's pardons of the 11 Reagan officials charged in the Iran-Contra affair.
