Also, the SS has no affililiation to the President or Mitt Romny. They are a independent security service that protects our important leaders. The SS does not "work" for the President.

OK my definition of "work" and yours might be different. The Secret Service is led by Mark Sullivan. The Secret Service is a part of the Department of Homeland Security. So Mark reports to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. She is on the cabinet and reports directly to President Obama.
Most federal government workers report up to the President, that's what we elected him to do, be the chief executive.
