I've never understood why people keep their clearances after leaving office. It should be automatically revoked the day they leave, regardless of who they are.

I agree. I see no problem in them keeping it for a short time, in case they need to help whoever is transitioning into their old job, but then they should be dropped. It's part of the problem in DC. These people never move on with their lives like the rest of us are forced to do. Anyone else, the day they leave their job, they also lose their clearance.

That hits at the heart of the issue: a double standard and second set of rules. It really shouldn't be tolerated.
