The same way Obama does. He could never qualify for one with his long term terrorist friends, his questionable foreign travel, long term drug use, and until recently his homosexuality would have stopped him.
But, getting elected is an end run around that. The intelligence community refusing to give information to an elected official is more dangerous than anything else. If they hold themselves as above the executive branch, then we are an intel community dictatorship and little else.
They are not some “superguardians” of the Republic.
The president doesn’t need a security clearance. He gets to decide who does.
Bill Clinton overhauled the system.
