Who said anything about "keep" ?View attachment 791550
From your own link.
Presidential records are the property of the US Government and are to be retained by the NARA.
"Having access" and "being in possession of" are two very different things. Section 2205 (3) means that the former President (or his designee) can arrange with the NARA for access to their facilities to review materials. It doesn't mean the FPOTUS gets to keep the documents.

"(3) the Presidential records of a former President shall be available to such former President or the former President's designated representative."
