Uspecified "Reagan emissaries" told unspecified "Central American leaders" that Reagan "intended to overthrow the Sandinistas." Therefore, Reagan deceived Congress. How does the conclusion follow from the premises? Would you care to supply more facts? As for congressional oversight, my copy of the Constitution says that "the executive power shall be vested in a President," Article II, Section 1[1]. On the other hand, "All legislative Power herein granted shall be vested in a Congress," Article I, Section 1.
