"the Former Presidents Protection Act of 2012. All living former presidents and their spouses after Dwight D. Eisenhower are now entitled to receive lifetime Secret Service protection. Their children are entitled to protection "until they become 16 years of age".
The sitting president has far more critical level of ss coverage than x president or family Nothing will stand between them not even bars
All im saying is people will point to what i quoted to refute what youre saying. The next step for you would be to define "critical level of secret service" and prove Trump has it. Because as it stands the simple presence of secret service doesnt prove anything other than he elected president in the past.
Exactly that !!!! The proverbial cat will be out of the bag when they try and jail the commander in chief and the secret service steps in and the military admits publicly who their commander in chief truly is by taking action to protect him
The military is not the secret service. If he was jailed they would likely isolate him from other inmates like they do with other high profile people. And he would have his secret service detail as do all presidents past and current as per the rule i quoted. In order to prove that theory true then you would need to explain how his protection goes beyond what is detailed in that quoted ruling. I really dont see a scenario where any secret service or military stops him from being jailed. That would fuel their accusations that he is above the law and the average person doesnt even know the theory exists, they would need a detailed breakdown of it and in this hyper politicized climate i dont see how any fence sitters would buy it. As i see it, him being jailed would set the precedent that all past presidents are not immune and can be tried for any alleged crimes. I really dont know if hes still president or not but i do know if hes prevented from being imprisoned after a judges ruling then it would be very very bad optics.
