While Biden has ultimate authority over security clearances, members of Congress technically get them by default just for being elected members of Congress.

It would likely invoke a Separation of powers issue that the Supreme Court would strike down if he tried.

I do, however agree that it's another sign of our completely broken system of government that a blatant traitor like Marjorie 3names Green can openly defend people who commit treason and espionage against the US, and still keep her access to classified info.
