“Of course they did! They may have been the boxes etc. that were openly and plainly brought from the White House, as is my right under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump posted on social media.

    Penalty for breaching that oath is impeachment. That's not a codified measure, and why a whole lot of the arguments are based on administrative law, norms, and exactly how the president makes new administrative law. If it was codified, it'd be a different story.

      You cannot take them oath again if you violate it. He can run but he cannot take office nor enter his name onto official election rolls.

      No it's not. What do you imagine the entire Florida case to be about if not the illegal handling of classified documents? This is a matter of public record and can be confirmed on a huge variety of news sources.

        I think it's about breaching administrative policies and procedures in the handling of classified materials with penalties based on the codified law delegating those procedures to the executive. What I don't believe it its based on concepts of legal duty derived from things like the oath of office.
