Who protect the us president?

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.


What crimes does the secret service handle?

The U.S. Secret Service primarily investigates and prevents counterfeiting of U.S. currency and other financial crimes, such as credit card fraud and computer crimes. Additionally, they are responsible for protecting the President, Vice President, and other designated individuals, as well as securing the White House and other designated locations.


Where does the secret service live in the White House?

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.


What does the secret service think of Obama?

The Secret Service is like anyone else in government- they have their personal opinions on things. But when they go to work, they are expected to do their job, regardless of those opinions. From what I've heard, the Secret Service generally likes Obama- he's a nice guy and is usually easy for them to get along with. I've even heard an anecdote about the President and First Lady breaking protocol to invite Secret Service agents to Thanksgiving dinners at the White House, a gesture which the agents appreciated.

When was the US Secret Service established?

The United States Secret Service started shortly after President Lincoln was assassinated in 1865. Surprisingly, the duties of the Secret Service did not, at first, include protecting the president! The job of the Secret Service agent was to fight crimes of counterfeiting (the printing and spending of phony money). It was not until President William McKinley was shot to death in 1901, that the Secret Service began to protect the President as well.Protection of the President is the duty of the agents assigned to the White House detail. They must be willing to risk their lives to save the President. A Secret Service White House policeman was shot to death while protecting President Harry Truman from gunmen in 1950. In 1981, an agent was seriously wounded while trying to shield President Ronald Reagan from gunfire.The President and his family may sometimes become annoyed by the constant presence of the Secret Service, but they understand how important the agents are in assuring their safety. More than anyone, the President appreciates how dedicated the Secret Service has been in performing its protection duties over the past 100 years.
