While attention is focused on the Veep’s decapitation authority, the real issue of his declassification authority is not getting the attention it deserves. LiberalOasis has a nice analysis. I haven’t checked the original sources personally, but this seems very plausible to me.

Now this stuff… This is the kind of stuff you can sink your teeth into. None of that pansy-ass ‘the President claims he can kill terror suspects while they eat dinner at TGI Fridays,’ and ‘Cheney’s accidental shooting of man worse than Kennedy leaving a woman to drown while he sobered up’.
