Yes! And while he’s at it, issue an Executive Order that revokes everyone’s security clearance when they leave government service. I had a SECRET clearance when I worked for a Military R&D contractor years ago. It went when I changed jobs.

It would be a simple matter to “reactivate” someone’s clearance if there was a need to do so after they left the government.
