The intelligence branch is not legislative and not judicial, therefore they fall under the executive branch. Who is the Chief Executive? POTUS.
I think this comment or quote or whatever article it comes from is a liberal wet dream. The POTUS gets to overrule.
We are in agreement that (by law) POTUS runs the Executive branch.
But (in practice), were you paying attention during his Presidency? There are a whole lot of 'his directives' that did not occur.
So - we agree that he is in charge (and should be) - but that doesn't always translate into 'followed orders'.
Did you notice the multiple times during his Presidency that he directed someone to declass and release certain documents to the public --- and then nothing happened?
Was it (perhaps) because the IC bureaucrats 'just didn't want to' (and Trump let them), or was it because there are (hidden) laws/statutes (etc) that illegitimately (but perhaps legally) make things very difficult in the declass realm. I don't know (and neither do most people outside of DC).
I'm confident Trump did everything by the book, because he's one of the smartest and most strategic men on the entire planet. But that doesn't mean that he didn't have to jump through (illegitimate) hoops.
