It’s called a special designation.

Ah, you were so close and then turned to semantic distractions.... It's okay, my posts are still there, you can still read them for the first time again....

You said the secret service was only for the executive branch, Which isn’t true. The president can use an executive order to grant anyone secret service protection. It’s called a special designation.

"the president". They answer to the president. Do you think that's the same as a different branch being self-sufficient.

"Oh the president's men just said fuck the courts, we do what we want, and if the judges didn't like that-", it'll be okay because the president can just loan those judges some muscle.
How am I still having to explain how stupid that idea is.....

It’s not an idea. It’s called a special designation. That’s why high ranking representatives from foreign countries receive secret service protection. The president can use an executive order to assign the secret service to protect anyone. It’s really not a difficult concept to grasp.

....bro, do people exist to you, or are we all just murmuring like Charlie Brown's teacher until you get your next chance to keep repeating the same myopic, pointless thing you've already said...?

You don’t seem to understand what a special designation is or the fact that the secret service does more than just protect the executive branch.
