I understand they become personal records once they leave the WH and the president has sole discretion to decide what is and isn’t personal. Nobody else has the authority to label any of those records national security related and demand their return.
Exactly. All authority in the Executive branch reposes in the President. He is not subordinate to any Executive agency or even an act of Congress. The agencies cannot tell him what he is allowed to see, and he is the ultimate classification / declassification authority.
