I am sure it has been said but Trump is his own worse enemy. He cannot just shut up.
"Whatever documents a president decides to take with him, he has the absolute right to take them," the former president told his crowd of supporters. "He has the absolute right to keep them or he can give them back to NARA if he wants, he talks to them like we were doing and he can do that if he wants. That's the law and it couldn't be more clear."
So he is saying that he told NARA that he will be keeping these documents which apparently include classified documents.
Slight twist to the declassification prior arguments. Now he is saying that nuclear secrets, American government secrets, notes on other countries that may be less than flattering. Trump has a right to take them because there are his and not the US governments or the people.
First he could declassify but there is a process that is documented, now he is alluding that he can just decide what records he wants to keep.. Then he can show them to anyone he wants to show them to when he leaves office. Impressing his guest at the big partay!
President can do anything and are above the law. Gee where have we heard that before.
What is Classified National Security Information?
Classified national security information is information created or received by an agency of the federal government or a government contractor that would damage national security if improperly released. Since 1940, the President has managed the system of classifying information by executive order (E.O.); the most recent order concerning classified national security information is E.O. 13526, signed by President Obama on December 29, 2009.
Gee if only he had done an E.O. , he could have specifically put in that Donald Trump and keep any record that he wants.
Is there a standard procedure for notifying the Archivist in case of reclassification?
Notification of the Archivist would be accomplished in the same manner that official notifications are made to other heads of Executive branch agencies.
Yeah a president can declassify but he must notify people. "D'OH" I wonder who then slaps him upside the head. Sounds like a job for Melanie.
How can I identify Classified National Security Information?
There should be a classification marking on the top and bottom of every page of the document.
Gee how hard is that. I would suspect that his staffers hid that stamp from him.
Trump logic I think therefore its true

- The document should not be marked as declassified. A declassification marking should look like an official stamp that indicates the name and office of the person who authorized the declassification action. A copy of a declassified document from the National Archives and Records Administration should include a marking that includes a project number starting with “NND” or “NW.”
Gee how hard is that. I would suspect that his staffers hid that stamp from him.
