The legal argument could be that this executive order requires more background research on Public trust positions than POTUS which is considered the highest elected position in the land.
MBI - Minimum Background Investigation (Typically reserved for Public Trust positions and/or when there is a break in federal service)
With the High security clearance for POTUS, some say Obama failed to pass, this could be a precedent if argued correctly.
If Obama has passed the security clearance then I would think the DNC would pass that information to the people. Instead they are silent and refuse to show their vetting documents in court.
“With the High security clearance for POTUS, some say Obama failed to pass, this could be a precedent if argued correctly.”
If an elected official’s position requires they have access to classified material, they are already cleared because of their election to office. They DO NOT have to go through any clearance process like an ordinary citizen would.
I don’t agree with this, but that is just the way it is. I guess the thinking is that “the people” by electing someone grants them public trust and clearance.
Now the “unelected” members of their staff may be in for a different standard.
