The head of the Secret Service, a retired presidential detail leader who was given the assignment of shoring up the agency in a period of crisis, is leaving his post, a little more than two years after arriving in one of Washington's toughest jobs.
Joseph P. Clancy, whom President Barack Obama summoned back from the private sector in late 2014 amid a string of security breaches and employee misconduct in the agency, said it's now time to retire for good. He alerted the White House last week of his plans to step down March 4, giving President Trump the chance to select his own security chief.
Clancy, the former head of Obama's protective detail, steered the Secret Service as it strained to shoulder a heavy workload with the lowest number of employees in a decade. At one point, the agency had 500 fewer people on staff than it was authorized to hire.
On Clancy’s watch, the Secret Service successfully tackled an intense and rancorous 2016 presidential election — that featured pushing and taunting by opposing sides — without any major incidents.

I think a female was running the ss when they all got caught with hookers. Clancy came in after she was told to leave.
Yes it was breached a few times while Clancy was in charge. Most times obamas not there when it happened.

Clancy? No Clancy wears glasses.
Good, fire the gal in CO first.
I saw that, but usually in an amicable departure the successor is announced at the same time as the retirement.
Hire Gavin DeBecker.
I agree. Bongino would be great.
