Why won't the administration let congress read the confidential details of the National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive?

It isn't legal for the administration to withhold the confidential information, so is it possible that the only reason they are withholding it is because its already in affect?

"Perhaps because the directive is in accord with the law? And before you tell me it isn't, have you read either?"

Umm duh. The public version doesn't have the confidential information, which is what the Congress is allowed to read. The problem is that Congress is being denied the confidential information in the bill when they have a right to read. If you had read the article and bills, you would understand that Congress is afraid that there is a conspiracy that the adminstration wants to uproot Congress. That means bye bye constitution.

Error: Congress is being denied the confidential information in the directive.
