“In other words, they are privacy to classified information for 4 years.”
Ok, I’m not objecting to that. Just pointing out you can’t have their “security clearance” expire after 4 years because they never had one in the first place. You’d have to first give them one, when they leave office (because they don’t need one while in office), and then you could make that expire in 4 years.
Something like that.
If they need to be “consulted” it’s recorded.
