Will you please edit the intro to my essay?

The concept of executive privilege has been around since our nation's birth. A small percentage of U.S. Presidents from George Washington to Barack Obama have invoked executive privilege to shield information from other constitutional bodies and other individuals. The United States Constitution does not specifically grant executive privilege to the President. Its constitutionality has been challenged in the U. S. Supreme Court which has ruled in favor of the right of a President to invoke executive privilege. Many individuals believe that the U. S. Supreme Court's ruling should have put an end to the executive privilege "debacle." Nevertheless, executive privilege is more broadly utilized now than prior to the Court's ruling. That ruling hs led many individuals to believe that it grants the U. S. President more power and authority than what is implied in the United States Constitution.
