Was that a joke? Because it's nowhere near correct. And the kicker is the Presidential Records Act actually says "Presidential Records" belong to the government, not the President, especially when he leaves office. He is only entitled to "Personal Records" which are extremely limited in scope.

was your response a joke? The Presidential Records Act says no such thing. This is from the Clinton Sock Drawer Case:

“Amy Berman Jackson, the judge presiding on that case, said a couple of very important things,” said Farrell. “That the president had an absolute, unreviewable right to take any records or documents that he wants when he leaves office.“

“No one can come back and second guess or double think or ask questions about what the president elects to take with him,” Farrell continued.

“And that has been the standing law unchallenged for the United States for something like 10 or 11 years,” said Farrell. “No one challenged it – unreviewable absolute authority to take whatever [the president] wants and no one can second guess it.”

That’s a liberal hack judge, who ruled in favor of Clinton in a civil circuit court, whose rulings by law do not carry future precedent. A federal criminal judge might look into that ruling, but they very well may not. It is hardly considered the defining interpretation of the law in question.

Read the law yourself, and show me the text where it says the President has any discretion whatsoever in determining what is considered personal records, or not. No one else has been able to yet, but maybe you’re the one who can find it.
