I wonder if the Secret Service has evaluated scenarios where a former president tries to assassinate the sitting president?

It's probably not totally impossible given the history of humanity with kings and warlords and whatnot.

It's not "tries to assassinate" it's "tries to have assassinated". Something tells me Trump couldn't assassinate a stuff deer.

This is more like "won't somebody rid me of this troublesome president?"

If the Secret Service existed when Andrew Jackson was the President, we would already have had this figured out.

Fun fact, the secret service was around for almost 30 years before they started doing presidential security, and it took the assassination of McKinley before they were officially in charge of presidential security. They were founded as an anti-counterfeiting arm of the Treasury.

That is a fun fact. A personal fun fact is I remember that the Secret Service is part of the Treasury department because of the cult classic, Wild Wild West.
