By law CIA agents are entitled to their identities kept a secret. The POTUS cannot break the law.

Well, compare what he did with hearsay. It was Libby who got the trickle-down permission to declassify information. Slippery slope of a different kind?

There are legal and illegal ways to go about it even for a President.
Leaking classified info to the press is not one of the legal ways. Blowing a CIA agent's cover AND the operations that agent was involved with is not one of the legal ways.

A legal declassification procedure would involve going back to the originating agency, such as the CIA, and then putting out a public, declassified version of a document.
