If Trump does nothing in 5 days, is it then automatic it gets released?
What’s the legal procedure here?
No, if Trump does nothing in 5 days it goes back to the full House and they can vote to release without Trump approval.
The President is the chief executive in charge of our intelligence agencies, and is responsible for the classification and declassification of information produced by those agencies. If the President doesn't approve it being released, it stays classified.
Trump did not do nothiing. He returned it with the requirement it be reviseed.

If Trump doesn’t do anything for 5 days, or he says he won’t release it, then in order to release it , the House has to vote to override Trump’s decision. Since he’s stated he won’t release it in it’s present form, the House will need to vote it out, and since the GOP controls the House, it will be interesting to see what the RINO/Never Trumpers do.
