 Does the president really give that security, though? I mean, if there is a known hole that the Secret Service knows about, would they allow that hole to be open? The Secret Service, by its protection mandate under 18 U.S.C. 3056, is mandated to provide protection to the president, vice president, their families, candidates as well. That's ingrained in law. That's the Secret Service's job. That's their mission. And it's a no-fail mission.
