NARA are clerks. I bristle at them being called librarians. Their claims are the equivalent of the guy at the storage rental facility when you bring in two boxes to store and they say "where's the rest of your stuff?" Zero authority, anyone with brains understands that.

There has never been any serious controversy about these things.
The President is the CHIEF EXECUTIVE.
Everyone in the Executive Branch WORKS FOR HIM.
He chooses to delegate portions of his authority to various agencies to carry out HIS ORDERS due to the sheer volume of work he is responsible for.
If there is ever any controversy about what is to be done - HE WINS.
Harry Truman kept a plaque on his desk saying: "The Buck Stops Here."
That is the legal and constitutional FACT.
