There are things no President can declassify…our HUMINT sources, for example. The Pres. prob has no concrete idea where that info is located and I’m quite positive even showing up at Ft Belvoir or Langley or the A ring at the Pentagon unannounced and demanding access would get him/her very far, no matter who might be Pres. More so for a Trump.According to the article I linked, Trumps actions declassified the material. It's an interesting read and has a link to the last time the order was revised by Obama. The order is pretty dry reading, but the information is there.
There’s a host of intel essentially and effectively beyond the grasp of a President-for good reason.
