There is nothing wrong with having documents listed or marked classified for a period of time but I don't see a need for former presidents to be able
to withhold executive orders. In fact I really do have to question Bush motives in this case because such a measure is open to abuse . Former
presidents could use national security as a blanket to cover there tracks.
But you still get struck with the problem that nothing is above politics in the US including national security.
