To clarify, TS and TS//SCI clearances do not end the day you leave office, and your NDA still continues to apply.
I have not read the law that discusses whether a person in this situation is eligible to be stripped of clearance.
- tanderson92 10y agoThis is my understanding as well, but I've also read that the security clearance system does not apply at all once you become POTUS. Should be interesting whether she is cleared for the security briefings while running for President, though.
- rdtsc 10y agoInteresting. And since she then becomes the head of the Executive branch, won't she technically be the boss of most of the apparatus that should supposedly be prosecuting her (DOJ, FBI, etc). Nobody will want to end up on that side of the table, so at this stage in the presidential race, everyone will be extremely careful and linient, trying to deflect responsability for tough decisions to someone else. I don't think short of impeachment, there is any mechanism to prosecute a President, or is there?
