How is he allowed to remove the secret service protection from the former vice president?
What?
The former VP actually only gets 6 months of protection by default. Beyond that it needs to be actively extended, which Trump didn't do.
my understanding was that biden did extend it for a further year. trump actively cancelled that.
it wasnt just him letting it lapse, it was a move of spite
To be more accurate, he actively cancelled an extension granted by a previous executive order.
Thank you
I’m surprised by the 6 months thing
There was an order in the previous administration to extend protection for extra time. This administration just cancelled the extension.
This is the thing that has you dumbfounded you? The how is he...? Questions go much deeper.
