I don’t think so. Can you back that up?
From the American Bar Association link I provided in my last comment: "Under the U.S. Constitution, the president as commander in chief is given broad powers to classify and declassify such information, often through use of executive orders...In all cases, however, a formal procedure is required so governmental agencies know with certainty what has been declassified and decisions memorialized."
“Under the U.S. Constitution, the president as commander in chief is given broad powers….”
That much is true.
“…to classify and declassify such information, often through use of executive orders...In all cases, however, a formal procedure is required so governmental agencies know with certainty what has been declassified and decisions memorialized.”
The rest of the ABA statement - regarding classification, declassification, formal processes, etc.. - is not in the Constitution as far as I can see.
I’m thinking the ABA preface “Under the U.S. Constitution..” was meant to apply only to the first phrase regarding broad powers - and the rest was describing precedent - a summary of how things are usually done.
Please let me know if I missed something.
