  1. LEGAL QUESTION: As I currently understand it to be: a. The President's Executive Order defines how classified documents are handled while the President is President. (Executive Orders tell the Executive Branch how to apply the already legal laws and do not make laws in and of themselves, or at least are not supposed to). b. But then also, just because a US President issues an Executive Order does not remove the President's overall authority. Basically, the Executive Order is just to tell the Executive Branch of the US Government how things should 'normally' be done but it does not exclude the US President from disregarding the Executive Order as the Executive is of course the Executive and retains full rights and authorities to even disregard their own Executive Order, because they themselves are the Executive. c. Now, I am not saying this is how it should be for the sake of America's and America's allies national securities, but wouldn't the above understanding be correct? * If anybody disagrees with the above understanding, I welcome refutes that have a legal basis for refuting. Basically, "IF" America wants better controls over classified documents, then revise the US Constitution to make it so, so that even a US President could not overrule, nor the military and other government employees who swear an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution could legally disobey. But from an actual operative standpoint: What US ally would ever trust the US Government with any classified information ever again 'if' a US President could just declassify anything at all, regardless of the level of classification and/or harm that it could do, with their thoughts alone? And declassifying items with the President's thoughts alone: what about if a President has a mental issue due to age and/or other physical issues? They just declassify whatever they want to, all the secrets of the US Government even, just because their mentally deranged mind wants to? But then also, if we want to go down this path: The entire US Government, including the US President, get all their powers and authorities from 'We The People'. 'We The People' would have ultimate powers and authorities. Just because 'We The People' have a US Constitution and all the laws that stem from the Constitution, does not remove the powers and authorities that 'We The People' have, each and every 'We The People' individually and as a society have. Basically, anything at all the entire US Government could do, so could each and every individual American citizen making up 'We The People', and 'We The People' could probably do even more than the Government is authorized to do. Of which also, 'if' a US President can pardon themselves from all crimes, then "I", a member of 'We The People' do hereby on this public forum, pardon myself from any and all laws, rules, regulations that ever were, are or will be. I say it, so therefore it is. And I guess also, even 'if' a US President cannot pardon themselves, I do hereby pardon my self anyway from all laws, rules, regulations that ever were, are or will be. I am 'sinless'. I say it, (not to mention all I had to do was think it and not even say it), therefore it is. Because 'I' can.

  2.  @bunnycox1046  How so?

  3.  @arjaygee  BUT, the President is the one who issues the EO, can revise the EO, and can even delete the EO, because the President has the power and authority to do so. While the EO is the 'normal' procedure, the President could decide to ignore the EO for themselves, because they can.

  4.  @arjaygee  The Executive (The President) has power and authority over the EO. Hence, the Executive has the authority to revise or delete the EO. Otherwise, a President could never change or delete an EO once put into place.
