Rules Restrict Secret Service As Bodyguards

About 250 agents work under a near million-dollar annual appropriation, with guarding a President elect only after election. The agency was formed in 1865 to stop counterfeiting, expanded duties in 1902 and 1916, and has few precedents for guarding nominees.
