Clutch Override or Ignition Switch: Starting Issue

This is on a 2006 Unlimited Rubicon.

I have been having a strange occurrence while starting the jeep. It is not consistent but often it will not turn over when I switch on the ignition. Sometime I turn the key and nothing happens, but then after a second of holding the key in place it will turn over. I can tell that the clutch sensor is extremely close to when in the clutch is full depressed because if I even remotely let out on the clutch so it is not jammed against the fire wall it will not turn over at all.

Most of the time it is not duplicatable if I turn the ignition off and retry. I have tested this while in 4L and the jeep starts without issue.

Questions:

Is this the Clutch override switch?
Has anyone heard of the switch going bad?
Could this be the ignition switch? (I only have two keys on my key ring and no fob)
Can it come loose and just need tightened?
