If the president is failing to disclose material facts with regard to legislation being presented to the Congress on a question as important as war and peace, I think it does impair the level of trust that the House and the Senate have for this administration.

Summary

This quote suggests that if the president is not providing all necessary information related to important matters like war and peace when proposing legislation to Congress, it undermines the trust that the legislative branch has in the administration. By failing to be transparent and forthcoming, the president's actions weaken the level of confidence that lawmakers have in the president and their ability to effectively govern and make informed decisions.
