So you believe that the children of the president do not receive protection from SS?

HAHAHAHA

Aw but you act as though that is something that is different from everyday,.....not

bush was governor of Texas when daddy was president....hardly a child

It doesn't matter if they are grown or not....they get SS protection if their father or mother is president.

i don't think so... jr. had the texas rangers protection, as do all governors here...

If they are adults they can refuse it.

Actually President Bush was Governor starting in 1995, his dad was well out of office by then.

Actually they CAN refuse it and many have.

Are the Rangers the State Police\Highway Partol there?

they are part of the DPS here, they are the top dogs in texas. they have jurisdiction everywhere in the state...

that will tell you a little bit about them...

I just read the Capitol Police are the ones that protec the Governor......

Protection Detail, which provides protection for high-ranking state officials, such as the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House.

The only reason I asked is because I always though of the Rangers doing all the really bad and major cases and looking for and apprehending wanted fugitives, dealing with organized crime and major undercover work........

news to me, i never heard of the capital police... but i never go to austin either...

It's wierd. We have the Capitol Police here but they only guard the Capitol, the Governors Mansion, state offices like DMV, Supreme Court, Senate and Assembly etc. Here the Highway Patrol protects the Governor.

It was probably that way there too then they probably re-did it recently or something.

I know the Texas Rangers are one of the most respected Law Enforcement Agencies in the country.

SS is still there somewhere protecting the family of the president also.

You can't get away from it so quite trying.

Baby Bush was well protected except from shoes.

not till he was president

When they are called upon basically is the way I understand it from that.I'm guessing thats because they are the Senior State Law Enforcement Agency in Texas or when there is a big event or when he travels around the state?

oh yea because daddy was president.

But they couldn't protect him from those shoes though...

Your not getting what I am saying. When they become an adult they can refuse Secret Service protection just like as soon as a President leaves office they can refuse protection. Both Bush Jr. and Jeb refused protection.
