Secret Service head

Acting Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy testifies before a House Judiciary Committee hearing on ''Oversight of the United States Secret Service.” on Capitol Hill in Washington November 19,  2014.  REUTERS/Kevin LamarquePresident Barack Obama has chosen Joseph Clancy as the new head of the U.S. Secret Service, the White House said on Wednesday, after a series of high profile security lapses led to a shake-up in the troubled agency's leadership.
Clancy, who personally helped guard the lives of three U.S. presidents, has been head of the agency on an interim basis for the past four months. Director Julia Pierson stepped down in October after an embarrassing Sept. 19 White House breach in which a man carrying a knife jumped the fence and ran into the executive mansion.
