I understand there's no requirement for the POTUS, that's why I started with "would it not logically follow" rather than "wouldn't the legal process require".

It's totally cool to talk about having had security clearances (I had a Secret for 15 years and a TS for 20). Hell, my Top Secret clearance (called a "Q" clearance in DOE/NRC parlance) was a valuable credential and is a job requirement for all sorts of good jobs in and out of government. I'm retired and haven't had such a clearance for about 5 years, so I can now again misbehave.

The NISPOM and refresher training both explicitly state that individuals are not to discuss or reveal their security status with anyone other than official personnel. It also details the human threat and how the first step is for adversaries to identify potential marks by looking at resumes and social media.
It also explains that you are still obligated to maintain a vigilant security posture after your clearance has expired, and that failure to follow the rules and regulations set forth can result in loss of clearance, loss of job, loss of employer's facility clearance, federal arrest, fines, prosecution, and imprisonment.

Sounds like you subscribe to the Hillary school of security.

I hve the DOE record of my Florence's clearance level but I would have to fetch it to see what it was as I can't remember the exact level. In any case all that part is now public knowledge..

Writing black reports was a PITA.

One can misbehave to a certain extent. Just don't lie about it during the approval and renewal interviews.
