"Secret Service Special Agents protect: * The President, Vice President (or persons in line of presidential succession) * The immediate families of the above * Former Presidents and their spouses for 10 years after leaving office * Children of former Presidents until age 16 * Visiting heads of foreign governments and their spouses * Major Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and spouses within 120 days of the general elections "
