Does anyone remember if the Directors of the Secret Service were forced to resign after the attempted killings of Harry Truman, Gerry Ford, George Wallace, Ronald Reagan, or GW Bush? (Yes, I know Wallace was not President but as a candidate, he had Secret Service protection).
Personally, I believe the Secret Service does a good job but too many problems have arisen. Pierson did the right thing by quitting and their internal ranks should be staffed only with the best officers that can be found.
