EO 464 barred executive officials from appearing before Congress without presidential consent. The Senate challenged this, arguing it infringed on Congress' power of inquiry. The Supreme Court ruled EO 464 was valid for question hour appearances under the Constitution, but not for inquiries in aid of legislation, where appearances are mandatory unless a valid privilege claim. The Court found Congress has the right to compel disclosure of information from officials needed for legislation, and EO 464 could not deprive Congress of this power of inquiry.
