Do you even think before you speak? What does the Secret Service travelling with the president have to do with Marines guarding US embassies?
he's making it looks as if only the secret service agents is allowed to protect US president in other countries which is a big lie.
My point here is that if US marines can be deployed across US embassies across the world, then there is nothing to argue here.

The marines doesn't protect the president directly, but they are stationed where he stays

The US president does not travell with those security agents you mentioned.

It's only the Secret Service that is constitutionally mandated to secure and protect the US presidency.

No military, police or FBI has business with White House affairs.

Best answer yet. And you’re right.

Everything regarding US Presidential procedures has a specific protocol, rhyme, and as does foreign policy.

The President is employed by the American citizens and as a whole, we have no issues with our taxes dollars being used to protect the person responsible for protecting our interests.

what I'm trying to say is that if US can station armed marines in other countries, then what is the big deal here, it means US president can travel with armed soldiers as well, why is he trying to invalidate what I wrote.

When Obama travel to Kenya as president, US marines alongside Kenyan soldiers were seen patrolling the airport

Why shouldn't he try to invalidate what u said? Did he commit a crime by doing that? Some of the information u posted are false. So I don't no why u think he shouldn't negate what u said.

There's no correlation with stationing US marines in US embassies around the world(which is standard security protocol for US embassies) and the US presidents security. The secret service is primarily responsible for the US presidents security and not the US marines.

You are trying to establish a relationship where there is none. Marines guarding US embassies has nothing to do with the US presidents security. They are two mutually exclusive events

But he is correct.

Protecting the president internationally[b] is not[/b] within the FBI’s scope of support therefore they do not protect the President.

The USSS (Secret Service) is the agency that protects the President per the US Constitution and no one, not even the President can change that.

Your point is moot because the Marines are the branch of the US military mandated to guard US embassies abroad.

Each government agency and military branch has very specific duties, policies, and procedures and operate accordingly.

Those are not FBI agents that accompany the President. The men that never leave his side both on and away from US soil are Secret Service agents.

We all know that US president is one of the most protected world leaders on earth, he travels to wherever he wants with armed security guards from US marines, FBI agents among other special forces.

US air force uses C-17 transport plane to carry the presidential limousine called the beast with several other vehicles to where he's going ahead of his arrival.

The Beast has 8-inch armor plating and five-inch thick bulletproof windows, and Kevlar reinforcement for the giant Goodyear tires that are also run-flat. The cabin is sealed for the outside world for protection against a chemical attack and special foam surrounds the fuel tank in case of an impact.

Do you know any other world leader that travels with such large number of security men?

Can our own president travel to US with armed Nigerian soldiers? Will they be allowed?

Because he is world number one.

Marines doesn't protect the president directly abroad, but they are deployed to guard the environment where he stays

President Xi is even more powerful.

He has unfettered powers and the economic might to back up his actions.

The US president on the other hand can barely get anything done. If a federal judge doesn't strike down his order, Congress or the Supreme court does.

And if that's not enough he can be voted out in 4 years.

It's not the president that is powerful it's the people of America themselves! No try Dem!

No I won’t waste time watching YouTube videos. I live in America and have a background in Constitutional Law. YouTube can’t teach me anything because they aren’t expert, they are just content providers.

The President does not lodge at foreign embassies and the Marines do not guard the environment where the President lays his head. Secret Service Agents form a multi-layered perimeter around the President from the time he takes the oath until the day he dies. While other agencies shoot to stop a threat, Secret Service Agents shoot to kill.

Marines never have and never will be assigned that duty.

THIS will tell you everything you need to know:

It proves nothing except that SIX years ago, Barack Obama travelled on an INTERNATIONAL flight to Kenya aboard Airforce One and it was the biggest security operation in history. The article states that the airport’s DOMESTIC TERMINAL was shut down and patrolled by US marines, CIA and secret service agents and Kenyan soldiers.

A DOMESTIC AIRPORT TERMINAL is for flights WITHIN one country. Flights from the US fly into the INTERNATIONAL terminal.


The Guardian is a just a British newspaper while Justice.Gov is the official Website of the US Justice Department. NO website or newspaper provides information more accurate than the official government website.
The article says NOTHING to support your claims but instead speaks of both foreign and domestic agencies patrolling the opposite terminal of an airport.

I like this comment. Buhari too can be compared to China president in a way. The reason is America has a handful of enemies so in countries without adequate security he has to be well protected but in friendly countries with good security he travels with fewer security detail. On international flights the presidents plane; airforce 1, is equally escorted by jet fighters from aircraft carriers on the route of his flight. Imagine such a country.

Most times the are actually two identical air force one plane , one flies empty as a decoy ...
