WASHINGTON – Secret Service boss Julia Pierson suddenly resigned Wednesday — a day after getting hammered in Congress over troubling White House security breaches.
“Today Julia Pierson, the Director of the United States Secret Service, offered her resignation, and I accepted it,” said Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson in a statement issued Wednesday afternoon.
Johnson named as acting director of the troubled agency Joseph Clancy, the former Special Agent in Charge of the division that overseas protection of the president and his family.
Pierson came under intense fire over a stunning security breach Sept. 19, when armed Iraq war veteran Omar Gonzalez jumped the White House fence, sprinted across the lawn and made it past the front door and inside the White House while carrying a small knife.
Early Wednesday, powerful lawmakers from both parties called on her to go.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), the top Democrat on the Government Oversight Committee – and normally an administration defender — told MSNBC Wednesday he does “not feel comfortable with her in that position.”

OK, seriously, how could anyone with 1/10th of a brain hire this clearly out-of-shape hog to supervise a team of elite security people to guard a very important person (such as he is)?
SMH.....
Her friggin’ buttons are about to burst her jacket.
Geezus....we are so screwed.....
Conservatives generally choose the best person for a position, irrespective of race, gender, ethnicity, or sexual persuasion.
Liberals are always looking to fill out the dance card. “We need a female Hispanic for the Supreme Court.” Hence, the supremely underachieving Sonia Sotomayor. She isn’t qualified to be Robert Bork’s cleaning lady, yet his nomination was destroyed by Ted Kennedy and his ilk because Bork was prejudiced against murdering babies in the womb.
Physical Fitness standards are part of the War on Women and Minorities, you know.
Don’t be fooled. The democrat press will just consider this “problem solved” and move on to cover up the wide ranging incompetence of this administration.
Obama’s nominee for her replacement is his other bodyguard, Susan Rice.
I tip my hat to your superior wisdom.
Say!!!! Whatever became of Lois Lerner?
That is very true
if the headline had read ... Secret Service Head Rolls ... I’d have had to blame isis .... uh oh ... wait one minute thar.
yep... I knew something was terribly wrong with the Secret Service when that guy with the horse head mask was able to approach the President.. that man should have been spotted and kept away from the President.
Take a hike, a long hike. Too much PC gets people killed
My thoughts too. Too many affirmative action hires has made the US impotent. The enemy is LOL.
ACTUAL local radio report headline:
“President Obama Removes Head of Secret Service Unit.”
(if you ever needed confirmation that he was a Muzzie…)
It’s people like the members of this administration that give incompetence a bad name
But will the kneepad media try to spin this as more evidence of the Republican “war on women?”
...and a raise..
Getting rid of generals, admirals, colonels, Lt Colonels, majors, Secret Service, and bringing in people with a different loyalty.
Bringing “illegals” into the military while laying off citizen soldiers...will he hire “illegals” and refugees for the SS?
[ Obama’s nominee for her replacement is his other bodyguard, Susan Rice. ]
Maybe Valerie Jarrett can pick someone from the Iranian Guard to protect the president....
Is she of the liberal lesbianeasy persuasion?
