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.

Lol you are very wrong bro ...
Marines goes with him ...

They sweep the location he will be in for like a week before he even appears ...

Even for him to move just 5 blocks away from the white house is a real crisis for sss ...not to talk of being in another country ,go and check how much goes into moving him into another country, e reach some country one year budget .

lol, you don't know. I was 62 regular course in NDA, was in timer 2 (equivalent to 200 l) most of my classmate then in NDA are captain, major and Lt. Colonel. Two of them are in bubu security details. The country he is visiting, provide security but he goes with personal securities. Bubu is even big, as small as wife of the president, she travel out with her ADC and two securities with weapons. If you don't believe me, kindly find out.

Russia and China. security arrangement during presidential trips is quite expensive. only a rich country with a high-security budget can afford to have as much security detail that is if it is allowed by the host country

yes only if the country he is visiting grants permission and issue the necessary permits for his security details to carry a firearm just like the president and his entourage also require a visa to visit the host country. the security details travel on an official passport but have no diplomatic immunity

All head of state or president and their entourage have diplomatic passports so I guess no need for permits from the country they are visiting its standard procedure any president can bring as much as 100 security personnel fully armed if he deems fit,no questions asked and of course the country they are visiting will be informed and their embassies that’s about it.

I've attended US presidential rally, so I'm not talking from fiction. Everything about US president and White House is purely the business of Secret Service.

The US Marines you mentioned are for combined military operations capabilities. Go and watch TWENTY FOUR HOURS movie and see the prototype operational capabilities of the Secret Service.

They may appear harmless to your ordinary eyes, but we'll sophistaced and grounded in securing the president.

This is not a thread for JAMBITES and bigot but for the intellectuals. Before Russia and China the USA has been on this standard.
Google when Russia came out USSR when the US tortured them. China is also a new comer.

If you think China and Russia are bigger than the US go and advice them to stop using the USD in their country and see them no more.

Listen, I am not going to back down, especially when it comes to something that I know me and others are correct about. The US Department of Justice’s Website is in direct compliance with the Constitutional Mandates and all of the web articles that you are presenting are dead wrong. You are also implying that you know the US Constitution AND the US Government’s Policies better than the subject matter experts who are paid $150,000 yearly to curate and maintain the official website.

Please don’t squander your intelligence trying to enlighten someone who is determined not to accept concise information. I posted the link to the OFFICIAL policy which mirrors what you and I are saying. Some people still feel that those of us who know the policy AND those working right under the President in DC don’t know the difference between the Secret Service and the Marines.
Many Marines are fresh out of high school and the vast majority are in their early 20s. These guys are trying to tell us that they are trusted to keep the President safe because SS Agents who train and do the job for YEARS are incompetent,

Ignorance is Bliss

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.
There is a difference between office of the president of the United States and the president of the United States. Think about it

You’re right, it has absolutely no correlation.
I see we have another intelligent person being challenged by someone who is clueless about presidential protection. Earlier I posted the US.gov link with the official constitutional mandates on protecting the president but that guy and two others feel that they know more than policy makers in Washington, DC. They counter with useless articles, YouTube, and fictional television shows.

You, I, Lexy2014, and two others tried to give them correct information but you can’t teach people who are determined not to learn.

I’m starting to think that you guys don’t know the difference between Marine One and the US Marines.
The Secret Service are the only ones who perform those duties. Members of the Marines DO NOT HAVE THE SECURITY CLEARANCE REQUIRED to
even get close to the President.


And even IF military personnel was used, WHY would members of the Marines be used instead of Navy Seals, the most highly trained and elite entity in the military?

You guys have began 2022 with the ignorance of 2021 again. Smh

Right. Willful ignorance.

The admiration some Nigerians have for China’s leader is both confusing and one-sided. Maybe they were asleep when Covid began to spread and he ordered police and military to throw innocent Nigerians studying in China out of their dwellings and onto the street. Buhari did nothing to intervene and protect his citizens in China yet these guys say Biden is afraid of China.

Maybe they also slept through that same leader instructing restaurants and food stores to block Nigerians and other Africans to enter the premises.

IF China or Russia go to war with the US, the whole of Africa, Europe, America, and most of Asia would be annihilated yet guys seem excited about a war.

Some people will never learn.

Apart from crew of Airforce One, Potus travels with US Marines especially when traveling abroad and some Marines resident in the country he is travelling to may also be drafted for his protection too.

That you see only Secret Service following him around doesn't mean soldiers are not close by.

Oftentimes, over 800 soldiers are drafted for his trip abroad depending on the country he is visiting.

Modified: For those screaming at the 800 soldiers, dont read it wrong. They are not for one trip biko.

These are special forces unit earmarked for that purpose and that doesn't mean Potus use them all in one foreign trip.

If you think you are right and I'm wrong, biko believe your rightness mek I have my peace. Quit the mentions already.

I am NOT gonna join issues with you and it's not a matter of backing down. The fact still remains the fact...no matter how much you try to slice and dice it. The[b] US Secret Service agents[/b] are responsible for the protection of US President and travel with him where ever he goes around the world. They are the guys in suits wearing dark aviator sunglasses with wired ear piece stuck to their ears for communications. So, I am NOT sure who told you or where you got your facts from that the soldiers are the ones protecting the US President. US is NOT like your failed LIEGERIA that involves the military in its domestic affairs. The US has an Act passed in 1878 called Posse Comitatus Act, which prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force. Sorry, I do NOT mean to burst your inflated bubble!

So tell us, WHERE were the Marines that you insist protect the President during the Capital Building breach on January 6, 2021?

The Secret Service and the Capital Police were there, Marine Units were nowhere close. Why didn’t a Marine shoot the White Lady who was pushing her way into the chambers?

The Marines were not there. It was a Secret Service agent pulled out his Sig Sauer service weapon and shot her dead per his training.

Youquoted me by mistake because I have said THROUGHOUT this thread that the SECRET SERVICE PROTECTS THE PRESIDENT both domestically and internationally.

Quote where I said SOLDIERS travels with the President. I dare you. Because I NEVER said it.

I know for a fact that the presidential protection by the Secret Service is mandated. I have a Background in Congressional Law therefore you bursting my bubble is the least of my worries.

Lastly, I was born here in the US. Do you REALLY THINK that I don’t know the difference between a USSS Agent from a Marine?

Did you just say that Soldiers can be drafted for trips with the President?

Surely you are confused because the last soldier ever drafted in the US was inducted in June of 1973. There has not been a draft in the US Military since.
