The president doesn’t need a security clearance. He gets to decide who does.
Bill Clinton overhauled the system.
“The president doesn’t need a security clearance. He gets to decide who does.”
As he should. I cannot see an argument that the president should be forced to submit to CIA or Military commanders. That whole commander in chief thing. To argue otherwise is to argue that he really isn’t the commander in chief or chief executive.
If we elect an Ahole like Obama, there are constitutional remedies. The DOD and Intel world setting their own rules isn’t one of them.
Not exactly.
