All the things I would do for a Big Mac...
What exactly would happen if Cheetolini got a prison term? Would he still get SS protective detail even while in prison?
The Former Presidents Protection Act of 2012, reverses a previous law that limited Secret Service protection for former presidents and their families to 10 years if they served after 1997. Former President George W. Bush and future former presidents will receive Secret Service protection for the rest of their lives. Children of former presidents up to the age of 16 are assured protection under the new law.

Since Obama reversed the 1994 act limiting for how long the families get protection, it appears all former presidents and their adult families are protected for the rest of their lives.
Can they lose that protection? It’s never happened before as far as I can tell. Does the Congress have to act and vote to remove a person’s protections?
Or does a felon president get a secret service detail for his one hour in the yard?
