Authority to Declassify Argument on CNN continues.
Tapper started this last night. They are arguing that the Vice President has declassification authority.
Poppy Harlow briefly mentions it, but with no EO number.
"A sitting Vice President has the power to Declassify." -Poppy Harlow, CNN
"According to who?" Rep. Michael Lawler (R) NY
"As of 2003 Vice Presidents have been deemed original classification authorities when President George W. Bush altered the Executive Order" -Poppy Harlow, CNN
