and there is a solid chance of conviction.

As of now, McConnell's Senate will never convict.

However, it is rapidly coming to a point that the House may feel compelled to impeach even without conviction just because it would be a dereliction of duty not to at least try with treason in the air.

Question- If Trump is not impeached and convicted, but vacates office by resignation or losing 2020, will he retain the topmost security clearance afforded to previous past Presidents?
