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.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

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.

Actually you have not. Sorry.

Well, think harder. You made up a story.
Wish I could say, sorry because I’m not in the least bit, sorry.
No, I doubt you are.
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?

Nope, it only gives POTUS the ability to declassify things while he is in office.
The point is if the decision doesn’t need to be documented there’s be nothing stopping them from doing an ex-post claim. Like Trump is probably doing.

If you didn't document it, it didn't happen. You'd think Trump would have learned that after 4 years.
And, in the same vein, you'd think that his legal team would have told him that.

To be fair, he probably did learn it very well in the last 50-odd years, but being POTUS isn't the same as being whatever the polite term is for somebody like Trump in the real estate business.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

His crack legal team?

Has he joined Trump's team, now?
That's a real step up (for both groups)!

I think the word is, tycoon. It has a somewhat more cache and chic connotation than sales weasel and not nearly as vulgar as shyster.

I'd venture to say his legal team(s) have had plenty of experience in telling him things. He listens only if he perceives listening is in his own best (short term) interests. Otherwise, he walks out of the room.
