So, at that time, after the subpoena,he's now on the job and stated publicly that there were still classified docs on the premises. I posted the link numerous times.
You and others still do not understand all this... The President is outside of the system with full authority to do at their will. A President can never break classification rules or laws no matter what they do.
Honestly, I don't think that is realistic.
No one is above the law.
Eventually, we will know for sure.
With respect, the president is the ultimate authority with respect to classification.
It’s how the process works.
All he has to do is say it’s declassified and it is.
Even if it still has a (c) on the document.
I doubt that.
Eventually this will be settled by the SCOTUS.

Bragg having the evidence to indict and choosing to do so.
The Fulton County special grand jury not finding in Trump's favor.
There's the whole drama surrounding the special master that you guys were just completely wrong about while I accurately predicted every step of the way.
I've pretty much been right about every case involving Trump while you've wrong about all of them. But that's what happens when you're arguing from a place of knowledge and not a place of feelz.

It’s the law.
It’s not in dispute.
You denying such makes you look looney.
It’s why I prefaced my post with respect.
Please take a moment, you are not a flat earther.
Obviously -- it is in dispute.
And will be settled by SCOTUS.
Is the president of the United States of America also the commander in chief of the military?
The questions of whether and to what extent the President has the authority to use the military absent a Congressional declaration of war have proven to be sources of conflict and debate throughout American history. Some scholars believe the Commander in Chief Clause confers expansive powers on the President, but others argue that even if that is the case, the Constitution does not define precisely the extent of those powers. These scholars tend to construe the Clause narrowly, asserting that the Founders gave the President the title to preserve civilian supremacy over the military, not to provide additional powers outside of a Congressional authorization or declaration of war.
After the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon Administrations spent nearly a decade committing U.S. troops to Southeast Asia without Congressional approval, in 1973 Congress responded by passing the War Powers Resolution. The Resolution sought to halt the erosion of Congress's ability to participate in war-making decisions, an aim furthered by the Resolution's requirement that the President communicate to Congress the commitment of troops within 48 hours. Further, the statute requires the President to remove all troops after 60 days if Congress has not granted an extension.

Im curious. Have you held a security clearance? You seem very firm in your opinion of how the system works, so I feel like you might. Otherwise, why would you be so certain?

Sure. If this ends up being a nothingburger I'll apologize.
Now how about you tell us what you've been right about in any of these cases.
While there is still no indication that he based his explosive tweets about the previous administration on anything other than conspiracy theories on the internet, Trump, as commander-in-chief, does have the power to declassify information about national security matters at his whim, legal experts say.

No one is above the law but they sure ignored him enough though didn't they. Like on January 4th when he asked for the guard to be in DC. Then on the 5th no one got back with him. Then, Ashley Babbitt was shot and killed because they were not prepared for the rioting.
[On. Jan. 4], former acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller issued a memo to the secretary of the Army placing some extremely unusual limits on National Guard forces for that event. It’s not a to-do list. It’s a list of thou shalt nots. A long list. A list that says guard forces can’t arrest any of the pro-Trump protesters, or search them, or even touch them. And that’s just for starters. [...]
It’s clear that these restrictions would have absolutely prevented any guard forces from trying to protect any location.

That wasn't the question. What have you been right about in regards to these open investigations?

Its really true that some people will question the source even when it's straight from the horse's mouth!
This is a .gov site. This is an official white house memo.
I give up. You aren't reasonable.

Why would I trust anything out of Trump's mouth?
Just prove your claim from a neutral site.
POTUS is the top dawg in the executive.

You're confusing the USA President with The Pope. The USA doesn't have a Pope or a King. The President is the head of the Administrative Branch of the US government and Commander in Chief of the US Military.
That would be the Executive Branch.
Not administrative.
