BTW, I've wondered what the Secret Service is supposed to do when they observe a President engaging in actual criminal activity. Does anyone know?

Pretty sure they ignore it. They did when the Bush daughters got caught drinking underage. The book "In the President's Secret Service" made it sound like the SS agents were just a few seats away from the Bush girls when they were confronted and asked for ID.

I imagine there must be some sort of a line. Maybe they ignore misdemeanors? How about felonies? Capital crimes? Would they stand by and just watch? Somehow, I doubt it.

How about hard drugs?
