> What data in a federal agency could the chief executive not have authorization to access?

Personally? For starters, he can't access anything the Legislature's laws say he can't.

The Executive is there to implement the law, and that includes obeying them him/her-self.

A President telling other people to break the law on his behalf by threatening to fire them is also a crime of extortion.

Can the legislature make rules for the president without constitutional amendment?

I am interested- I’ll see if I can find examples.
