That doesnt apply to the president, retard. Not one thing in that useless post explains how a president declassifies information. Not once did it even use the word "president".Part 1. Original Classification
Sec. 1.1. Classification Standards.
(a) Information may be originally classified under the terms of this order only if all of the following conditions are met:
(b) Classified information shall not be declassified automatically as a result of any unauthorized disclosure of identical or similar information.
- (1) an original classification authority is classifying the information;
- (2) the information is owned by, produced by or for, or is under the control of the United States Government;
- (3) the information falls within one or more of the categories of information listed in section 1.4 of this order; and
- (4) the original classification authority determines that the unauthorized disclosure of the information reasonably could be expected to result in damage to the national security, which includes defense against transnational terrorism, and the original classification authority is able to identify or describe the damage.
