As to the last sentence, no. The Secret Service will never allow anyone to direct, incarcerate or put hands on the President. As pointed out above, protecting the President is their primary job. They will never cede that responsibility to anyone. Ever. That is not a stubborn partisan statement, it is a fact.

This isn't some medieval court with oaths of allegiance till death.   The detail assigned to Trump take orders from a superior and could easily be told to cooperate with whatever terms are agreed to following any convictions.

Well, no [BLEEP], NYC. In what world did you think anyone would believe such a thing? 

The Secret Service has a sworn duty to protect current and past presidents. That is their job. I have little doubt that in your seething hatred for this one man that you would like to see him eliminated. But the fact of the matter is allowing harm or death to come to any president because the Secret Service abrogated their responsibility and moral obligation would set a dangerous precedence and send a chilling message. 

Tell me, who is this "superior" that would order such a potentially disastrous scenario? Who would order a sworn federal protective service that they should no longer uphold their most sacred responsibility to protect an asset of utmost national importance? Yes, I know you detest the air that Trump breathes, but he is still a person who is now intrinsically tied to U.S. sovereignty - as is any living president. 

What you are proposing would be exactly on par with the military turning over part of their defense responsibilities to a police department. 

Stop allowing your blind hatred to think for you and to paint others as mindless myrmidons.
