When you look at a bell curve, the people to the left are called leftists for a reason - it’s because they’re incredibly stupid. They were given the talking points as if to say that the President doesn’t have sole control over what is and is not classified within the executive branch. Which includes all the alphabet agencies and the military.
The president can declassify anything he wants, and he doesn’t have to tell anybody at all.

There was a time before the 1st impeachment, when Trump (POTUS) stated -publicly- that he had declassified all records and had left the release of them up to the discretion of AG Barr.
That is a pretty broad statement of DECLAS, long before he boxed them up and took them to FLA.
There is, tho, the [DECLAS] of military documents which HE ALONE could classify and declassify.
I would say that these docuemnts are not part of the PRA, which makes no mention of the CinC records...there is no Commander-in-Chief Records Act.
I will stress again, the Constitution recognizes 3 branches of Government.
It does not create or codify a “military”.
To my knowledge, it is referenced ONLY in the Commander-in-Chief clause and the 2nd Amendment.
Further, Congress meets to certify the President and Vice-president. They do NOT certify or confirm the CinC.
The military and command thereof is looming large, lately.
And no, I don’t think Trump is CinC, but he did “vest” a citizens panel for reasons of Continuity of Command through PEADs.
3:15 prayer time here shortly.
Our nation and FRens could use our continued prayers.
Please join in.
The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
Exo. 15:2
