Can it be denied that Bush became president because they used this butterfly ballot in Palm Beach County, Florida, in 2000?

Thousands ticked number 4 thinking they would vote for Gore.

The margin was so close that you can attribute the outcome to any number of factors. Even the socialist workers party or food poisoning at a large event the evening before.
These ballots were an absolute abomination though, no doubt about that.

True, though this stands out because the chaos it produced was foreseeable.

So what's supposed to be the legal counterargument to the president having a constitutional plenary power of classification? There's no legal authority to challenge a president's methods or claims, he is the authority from which it derives. Not only could Trump have a standing order to declassify documents he takes, but just his actions themselves have implicit authorization. Prosecutors have no grounds to pursue a president for exercising his own authority under the constitution, nor can congress pass a law restricting it, nor can any executive branch guidance or formality restrict the power of the president from which it derives. So as far as I can tell, the only plausible case that could be brought against Trump would have to solely rest upon Joe Biden's authority as his successor. If Trump could claim files were declassified under his authority, Biden could claim files were classified under his authority. In effect, one president could condemn his predecessor by arbitrary decree, in the true stylings of ancient tyrants passing damnatio memoriae

Unless Biden does it, then you'd be calling for his head
