I believe this is the relevant passage from the Egan case:

“The President, after all, is the "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States." U.S. Const., Art. II, § 2. His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security and to determine whether an individual is sufficiently trustworthy to occupy a position in the Executive Branch that will give that person access to such information flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant”

Thanks. I saw that. It doesn’t quite say “plenary” which is what I was hoping for.
I’m wondering how long before Pres. Trump takes this to the courts.
