phaethon Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Not totaly true. The Secret Service started protecting the US president in 1894, as an informal, part-time, task. After the assasination of McKinley the y were informaly asked to provide protection by congress in 1901 and they get the formal responsibility in 1902. Whoops, /mea culpa/. So that's actually 1 in 19 or about 5.26%. The Swiss still have them beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
