Shoulda done better.
@fhcjr38 The answer is correct. No President prior to Teddy Roosevelt had any protection from the Secret Service. "You could look it up."
the last question, about Secret Service was BS: You don't ask Which President was FIRST to have Secret Service Protection, and then give an answer to the First President to have Round the Clock SS Protection.
