The Department of Homeland Security oversees the Secret Service, which was under the jurisdiction of the Treasury Department until 2003. The organization was originally created by President Lincoln in 1865 to guard against counterfeiting. Following President McKinley's assassination in 1901, the organization was re-assigned to protect the president, his family and, occasionally, other members of the executive branch.
