23. The scary Answer

is that the President is the ultimate authority on who has a security clearance. So no, the President doesn't need a security clearance nor can his access to classified information be limited.

Now, imagine that you work for the government and have information and it would be dangerous to the US if the Russians had the information. What would you do?
