But doesn't the President still have to go through some legal process to have them declassified?
It seems like people are arguing that the President can just say the words, "This is declassified" and it magically happens.
There has to be some record of when it was declassified, because how else would anyone know if it was declassified or not? How else would anyone know they could access something previously classified?
What would stop former Presidents just willy nilly declassifying documents after their term ended, if there was no documentation of when it was declassified?
The simple act of removing them to Mar a Lago declassifies them. The President has the ultimate authority over declass. He doesnt need to say a word. They dont need to be re-marked. It was reaffirmed by SCOTUS in 1987. Clinton kept docs in his sock drawer and the Courts ruled in his favor. Neither the executive branch, the judicial nor Congress can change this in any way. They cant reclassify.
This is True!
Didn't he hire a guy to do all that for him? Was it patel?
If he did, there doesn't seem to be any record of it.
