The President doesn’t need a bill to remove security clearances. Such clearances, except for Congress and the Supreme Court, are under the exclusive control of the Executive.

You sound as though you really do know more about it than I do!

I was not the one who reported that tidbit about the SES clearances being discontinued, and attached to the NDAA. From what I’m recalling I read, I don’t believe it was in the NDAA, but it was in another bill which was signed today.... or as you say as earlier, perhaps it was in an EO.

I am sorry, but I have not followed that particular wrinkle of today’s events closely - ie., about SES. I commented on someone else’s report about it on the thread, and thought it sounded interesting. I’m simply not equipped at this time to be able to give you informed answers on that topic. Perhaps another FReeQ can help fill in details on this one for us.
