Shouldn't the president first choose to declassify then? Or is it ok for the president to choose ad-hoc to declassify for someone specifically without even informing anyone else?

    Should? Perhaps. An awful lot of powers of the President should be scaled back.

    I'm not sure this one can without big changes to the system.

    When the raid that killed Bin Laden was announced, Obama simply decided to do that. The operation was classified right up to the moment Obama sent that message.
