The judgment doesn't state that he has unlimited authority, only that the authority he has derives from his position as C-in-C rather than Congressional authority. That doesn't mean there are no limits or he can act in an unconstitutional fashion (although George W Bush's administration tried to argue that).Stuart F– Stuart F2023-06-02 15:50:53 +00:00Commented Jun 2, 2023 at 15:50

Although we may have to wait for the supreme court to get a more narrow ruling, it's worth noting the Bush administration was (ostensibly) successful as they dropped the charges relating to classified documents against Libby (although brought different charges). Further Trump by definition acted in a constitutional fashion.

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. united-states), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
