Read the Constitution for yourself and don’t rely on “everyone” to do your thinking for you. “Everyone” does NOT agree!
If one or both of you think any president has the power to declassify anything they chose at anytime they chose, then you are seriously deluded. In this specific case, President Trump probably has the authority to declassify.
But do you also believe that a president can declassify any military secrets they care to declassify, or any information involving the activities of our intelligence agencies? Do you think FDR could have declassified the D-Day invasion plans before the invasion took place?
There are many classified matters now and in the past that, should a president have declassified them, he’d likely have been impeached and removed from office. A president does not have absolute power to declassify classified information.
The main point I made, to which you both overreacted, was that the Dims are trying to claim that these FISA documents and other documents are matters of grave national security concerns and should not be declassified. That’s probably 99.9% self-serving, ass covering BS and should be ignored. They are, predictably, cynically misusing what is often a legitimate concern related to declassification.
But there will still be some details of the documents that will not be declassified, just as some bureaucrats convinced Trump that all the JFK assassination documents still should not be declassified after more than fifty years.
President’s don’t have any absolute power to declassify anything they chose, and that’s as it should be. If you want to think otherwise, then so be it.
