Why is the secret service part of department of treasury?
The Secret Service was originally established in 1865 as part of the Department of the Treasury to combat counterfeiting. Over time, its responsibilities expanded to include protecting the President, Vice President, and other high-level officials, as well as investigating financial crimes. While protecting the President is probably what the Secret Service is most well-known for, its original purpose of safeguarding the nation's currency and financial system remains an important part of its mandate.

Where was the secret service when Lincoln was shot?
The US Secret Service was in it's infancy and it began to mostly concentrate of counterfeite monies, and the like. President Garfielf was assassinated at a Washington, DC subway station; and President McKinley was shot in Buffalo, NY. His VP Theodore Roosevelt was vacationing as well in the Finger Lakes area. Upon hearing the President had been shot, the VP packed up everything and traveled the full distance to Buffalo. The President was in failing health. He'd die 8 days after being shot. Then there's President Kennedy. I do not feel that Oswald had anything to do with it. Oswald, an expert marksman in the Marine Corps, had a vantage point where he could have shot Kennedy dead in the forehead before the limo's turned onto Elm. Thn there's Jack Ruby showing up the next day, and walking into the Sheriffs Garage and shooting Oswald. THAT was a cover-up. Ruby assassinated Kennedy and like Oswald said, "I'm a patsy...", he killed Oswald to leave everything covered.

Is the Secret Service required to protect all former Presidents?
In 1965, Congress authorized the Secret Service (Public Law 89-186) to protect a former president and his/her spouse during their lifetime, unless they decline protection. In 1997, Congress enacted legislation (Public Law 103-329) that limits Secret Service protection for former presidents to 10 years after leaving office. Under this new law, individuals who are in office before January 1, 1997, will continue to receive Secret Service protection for their lifetime. Individuals elected to office after that time will receive protection for 10 years after leaving office. Therefore, President Clinton will be the last president to receive lifetime protection.

When was the US Secret Service established?
The United States Secret Service started shortly after President Lincoln was assassinated in 1865. Surprisingly, the duties of the Secret Service did not, at first, include protecting the president! The job of the Secret Service agent was to fight crimes of counterfeiting (the printing and spending of phony money). It was not until President William McKinley was shot to death in 1901, that the Secret Service began to protect the President as well.
Protection of the President is the duty of the agents assigned to the White House detail. They must be willing to risk their lives to save the President. A Secret Service White House policeman was shot to death while protecting President Harry Truman from gunmen in 1950. In 1981, an agent was seriously wounded while trying to shield President Ronald Reagan from gunfire.
The President and his family may sometimes become annoyed by the constant presence of the Secret Service, but they understand how important the agents are in assuring their safety. More than anyone, the President appreciates how dedicated the Secret Service has been in performing its protection duties over the past 100 years.
