Secret Service Director Julia Pierson Is Resigning

16. A Little More Than A Year

She had a little more than a year to correct an organization that has most likely been broken for decades. Yes, she may have been there when the worse things happened, but there were reasons behind those incidents. Maybe the lack of Secret Service personnel was the real reason the White House intruder was able to get so far. I saw a report that claimed someone jumps the White House fence about once a month. Every other time the person who jumped was stopped almost immediately. It seems the real problem in that incident was that there was a lack a Secret Service personnel at the White House due to the fact that the first family was on its way to Camp David. It is most likely that if the first family had been at the White House the fence jumper would have been stopped sooner. With the elevator incident, maybe the real, or better solution is to prevent anyone, other than Secret Service agents from riding in elevators with the President.
