Bingo
Trump changed or deleted that executive order......

When and what’s Trump’s EO number?
The other thing about this lame piece is that Bobo's EO hasn't been tested in Court. It may very well be unconstitutional, and they are unlikely to pay that price in SCOTUS by charging Trump.
Sadly, you’re probably right.
NEVER heard of such a status for VP
SHOW ME
I have the same questions about Biden’s “attorneys”.
Section 3.1.b.1 covers Biden declassifying if he originally classified. A limited exception in fact. “(1) the official who authorized the original classification, if that official is still serving in the same position and has original classification authority;”

That would be a specific exception which would depend on the individual documents found.
Reportedly at least some of the classified documents found in Biden’s possession were Obama-created and classified documents. If true, Biden would not have had authority to declassify them.
Even then, a president can declassify any document merely by how he uses or stores it. The executive order in question outlines specific steps which any other Executive Department official must take to declassify a document. I’m pretty sure that none of the classified documents found in Biden’s possession went through any declassification procedure.
“EXECUTIVE ORDERS” are running the country-—NOT Congress.
Umm, no.
Why aren’t the Biden’s wind chimes yet? The treasonous bastards!
the vice president is included in a list of “original classification authorities,” meaning Biden had the power declassify anything he classified.
The President, on the other hand, can declassify anything whatsoever.
Biden had a few
Trump had hundreds
Obama had thousands, and no one went after Obama, right?
Why is that?
The mockingbirds are singing in unison this morning I see.
Don’t they always...once they receive their TPMs??
Also the Secretary of State can keep a server in her bathroom. But not Trump. Anything he does is wrong. Anything Biden and Hitlery do is right. Right there in the Constitution.
Derivative classification authority, perhaps. And declassification authority is delegated down many levels from POTUS.
Fake News.
By executive order? He had authority to re-classify something he had classified but not something that the president or his designated in charge of agencies had classified.
He could only declassify anything he had classified.
Bump!
YES
Xi-O’Biden has broken a serious law. And he used it to collect money.
