    The President may set whatever procedure he wants, if I read that correctly.

          Let's go back to 2009 and Obama's EO, which exempts the POTUS and VP:

              Again, these lay out policies and procedures for people who are below the office of the Chief Executive.

                Yes, but the discussion is about the Chief Executive not others in or below his office.

                Perhaps you do not understand the question.

                Let me put to you more simply: Show us where it explicitly states the POTUS can declassify T.S. documents without telling anyone or leaving any sort of paper trail. I suggest you cannot.

                  Trump’s current argument seems untenable. If no documentation were required that would give any former POTUS the ability to declassify things for the rest of his life.

                  Obama could publish the detailed schematics of the Virginia class nuclear fast attack submarines and say “oh, I declassified these in 2009”

                  Only non-witches get due process.

                      Nope, it only gives POTUS the ability to declassify things while he is in office.

                      As an example...President John Doe is sitting at the Resolute Desk and a widget-expert professor without a TS clearance is brought in to brief the President. The President reaches onto the desk and hands the prof a TS document on a heretofore unknown widget created by DARPA, and asks him to comment.

                      By his actions, the President has just declassified that document.

                      I think a lot of this boils down as to when Trump did or did not declassify the documents. I also think it makes a difference what documents they are.

                      And just as an aside, Trump now says he thinks they took his passport. If so, that's just chickenshit, and speaks volumes.

                        "Merely proclaiming a document or group of documents declassified and doing nothing more would not suffice," Bradley Moss, a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer who works on national security cases, told PolitiFact.

                        Follow-through is required.

                        "He had to identify the specific documents he was declassifying, he needed to memorialize the order in writing for bureaucratic and historical purposes, and he needed to have staff physically modify the classification markings on the documents themselves," Moss said. "Until that was done, the documents, per the security classification procedures, still have to be handled, transmitted and stored as if they were classified."

                              I've already showed where he can. I've even offered a simple example.

                              If you think POTUS spends his day signing releases for documents and carefully hiding stuff in his desk, you have a different view of a working Oval Office than I do.

                                Trump’s current argument seems untenable. If no documentation were required that would give any former POTUS the ability to declassify things for the rest of his life.

                                Obama could publish the detailed schematics of the Virginia class nuclear fast attack submarines and say “oh, I declassified these in 2007”

                                Exactly. Show us the paper and policy. Not just your say-so.

                                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                  Show us explicitly where he cannot.

                                  No, the onus is on you to show us that he can.

                                  But at least you now understand the question. That is step forward.

                                  I've already showed where he can. I've even offered a simple example.

                                  If you think POTUS spends his day signing releases for documents and carefully hiding stuff in his desk, you have a different view of a working Oval Office than I do.

                                        Now, is this the part of the thread where I say that you're an obtuse SOB, or would you like to start the festivities?

                                          I take it then you have nothing more to say other than up make up stories. Several others here have shown you to be incorrect or, at least, inaccurate as well on this topic. I rest my argument.
