They are secret service agents there to protect the president
In regards to the President's security detail, essentially yes. Where ever the President goes he is accompanied by a certain number of secret service agents.
The sole purpose of the Secret Service agents are to protect the president. Whoever protects them is irrelevant and quite frankly not needed. People don't plan assassination to kill Secret Service agents, because of how quick people can act. With only 1 (maybe 2) shot, you need to kill the most important figure there, which is usually the president.
The first chief of the Secret Service was William Wood.
The secret service does not live in the White House. Actually it would be more appropriate to say that secret service agents do not live in the White House. The US Secret Service is tasked with Presidential security and there are numerous agents on duty at all times, at the white house and wherever the president is or will soon be. Like any other job, when the agents are not on duty, they go home to their families. If they are traveling with the president then they are provided with hotel rooms.
Secret Service Agents
USMC serve as aids and door guards when the President is in the West Wing working. Secret Service agents are guarding the President.
That information is not made public, in order to make sure the president is kept safe and his security team is ready for any potential threats. The president has uniformed and plain-clothes agents out in the crowds and around him, wherever he goes. In a couple of cases, we have been told about one or two of the president's main bodyguards (such as Reggie Love), but for the most part, the Secret Service likes to keep all of the logistical information about protecting the president confidential.
