Ngl I kinda feel like that should happen automatically?

If it was a real cleared job they would.

Right? Don’t security clearances need to be re-upped regularly and get revoked when you leave your job?

[-] pudcollar@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

Correct, basically.

It's pretty common for past presidents to be asked to advise on things they might have experience with or specific knowledge of. I think they all keep their clearance mainly for that reason.
