The United States Secret Service is a federal protection and investigation law enforcement agency, charged by Congress with the protection of high ranking officials such as the President of the United States and the Vice President of the United States.[1]
The agency was founded in 1865 as a part of the United States Treasury to investigate and combat counterfeiting. The head of the Secret Service is the Director, followed by the Deputy Director and the Chief Operating Officer.
Bartlet Administration[]
In 2004 Deborah Fiderer had a Secret Service's locator box facing outwards in her office, and Kate Harper warned her that the location of protectees was codeword clearance but not anyone with access to the White House was at that level. The protectees' names shown were President Bartlet, First Lady Abigail Bartlet, Liz Bartlet Westin, Ellie Bartlet, Zoey Bartlet, and Vice President Bob Russell.[2]
