Hillary falls into two categories that allow her to still receive Secret Service protection. The first is the fact that she is spouse of a former President and it has not been more than 10 years since he served in office. The second reason she could be allowed to receive Secret Service protection is because she has declared herself a candidate for President. She would only receive protection under this clause if she is still a candidate within 120 days of the general election. However as fate would have it she will not need this clause because her protection will not lapse until 2 years into the next President’s first term in office.
Authorization for receiving Secret Service Protection:
Former presidents and their spouses for their lifetimes, except when the spouse remarries will receive protection. In 1997, Congressional legislation became effective limiting Secret Service protection to former presidents for a period of not more than 10 years from the date the former president leaves office.
Children of former presidents until age 16
There are also many others that are protected for a smaller window of time. Those include:
The president, the vice president, (or other individuals next in order of succession to the Office of the President), the president-elect and vice president-elect
The immediate families of the above individuals
Visiting heads of foreign states or governments and their spouses traveling with them, other distinguished foreign visitors to the United States, and official representatives of the United States performing special missions abroad
Major presidential and vice presidential candidates, and their spouses within 120 days of a general presidential election
Other individuals as designated per Executive Order of the President
National Special Security Events, when designated as such by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security

This crap just gets more childish every day, and it's only the beginning. But I'll pretend this is a serious question instead of yet another flame. She has secret service protection because former Presidents and their immediate families continue to have secret service protection after their terms are over. Dude gave details on this that are completely correct.

I feel sad that the only way you can make yourself look better(?) is by tearing down another person. Do you not realize how ignorant it makes you look? If the same terminology which you use to describe Hillary was to turn on say, G. W. Bush, would you not be the first in line to spout ignorant babble on the lack of intelligence among the liberals? Something to think about.

She gets it as a former 1st lady & probably also as a presidential candidate. Her breath is the reason she needs protection. Smokey the Bear is after her.

Because she is the wife of a former president and so has the protection of secret service.
But her bitchy attitude should be enough armor.

It has to do with her inability to run from potential threats, due to her mammoth ankle circumference

It doesn't protect Barbara Bush (Bush jr. mother) so, your point is?
