There is no "process" when it comes to the President. He or she may CHOOSE to follow the formal process...but the President is the Original Authority when it comes to security classification. All other persons tasked to classify documents operate via delegation of that authority from the Office of the President.There is a "process" for declassifying documents. Trump apparently ignored that process. The DOJ/FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago had nothing to do with "classifications" - it had to do with the fact that Trump had removed/stole government property that belongs to the American people.
