So your point is that the president can't do the "clerical work" of redacting.
Addendum: Maybe you're reinforcing an assertion that the president is put in an all or nothing box. You say "What he can't do is say 'I agree with releasing A but not B.'"
Can the president object to the release of part of what is sent to him? What does "law states" say about that? Please give a citation to the "the law" that pertains. I think that might be helpful to sort all this out.
If the President objects to any part then he sends it back. What he can't do is take what Congress sent him, make his own changes, and then release it. Only Congress can change it.
Please give a citation to the "the law" that pertains. I think that might be helpful to sort all this out.
Not law, Congressional rule. Specifically Rule X, Clause 11(g)(1):"The select committee may disclose publicly any information in its possession after a determination by the select committee that the public interest would be served by such disclosure." The clause continues on with the process for the disclosure.
