Here is a fact...POLITIFACT OF COURSE. The majority ruling in the 1988 Supreme Court case Department of Navy vs. Egan — which addressed the legal recourse of a Navy employee who had been denied a security clearance — addresses this line of authority. "The President, after all, is the ‘Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States’" according to Article II of the Constitution, the court’s majority wrote. "His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security ... flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President, and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant." Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Scientists Project on Government Secrecy, said that such authority gives the president the authority to "classify and declassify at will." In fact, Robert F. Turner, associate director of the University of Virginia's Center for National Security Law, said that "if Congress were to enact a statute seeking to limit the president’s authority to classify or declassify national security information, or to prohibit him from sharing certain kinds of information with Russia, it would raise serious separation of powers constitutional issues." The official documents governing classification and declassification stem from executive orders. But even these executive orders aren’t necessarily binding on the president. The president is not "obliged to follow any procedures other than those that he himself has prescribed," Aftergood said. "And he can change those." Indeed, the controlling executive order has been rewritten by multiple presidents. The current version of the order was issued by President Barack Obama in 2009. The national-security experts at the blog Lawfare wrote in the wake of the Post’s revelation that the "infamous comment" by President Richard Nixon — that "when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal" — "is actually true about some things. Classified information is one of them. The nature of the system is that the president gets to disclose what he wants." I believe the SCOTUS will find TRUMP HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DECLASSIFY AT WHIM...AND CONGRESS CAN NOT INTERFERE. THE SCOTUS MUST RULE AS PRESCRIBED BY THE LAW OF THE LAND...THE CONSTITUTION. THE SEPARATION OF POWERS WILL STOP CONGRESS FROM INTERFERENCE. THE JUDICIARY BRANCH IS UNABLE TO OVER RULE THE SCOTUS WHICH HAS ALREADY RULED ON PRESIDENTIAL POWERS PERTAINING TO DECLASSIFICATIONS OF INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS. BUT OF COURSE...KEEPING TRUMP IN THE NEWS MAY HARM HIS RE-ELECTION EFFORTS! LEGAL PROSECUTION IS PART OF THE PLAN. More from VERIFY: No, being convicted of taking government records would not disqualify Trump from serving as president again. So even if convicted DONALD JOHN TRUMP CAN BE PRESIDENT AGAIN. LIARS, CHEATS, AND CRIMINALS WILL DO ANYTHING TO STOP A TRUMP VICTORY! VOTE IN 2024 FOR DJT TO END 2 WARS, STOP ILLEGAL CRIMINAL IMMIGRATION, CREATE A VOTER ECONOMY NOT BASED ON WARS, END SICIALISM.
