"... all enemies foreign and domestic."

Members of the Secret Service take the same oath as many others in government to "... protect and defend the constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

So if the Trump's actions go far beyond constitutional boundaries, will his Secret Service guards arrest him as a domestic enemy?

We're about to find out how much that "oath stuff" really means.
