I just don’t think it applies to a former president, though. The test will be, if it can be proven, he did declassify anything while he was on office. Some argue, a president can declassify anything, without congressional approval, including those items, regulated though congressional statutes, without their approval, the power he had was substantial, all former presidents take records with them, then further negotiate with NARA, when out of office, to determine what is a presidential record or not.
