Do you know the code names the secret service used with former US presidents? Here we tell you

One of the many benefits of becoming the president of U.S is that you not only become the leader of the world’s first power, that you live in the white house, that you travel in the Air Force One and that in the car in which they transport you they carry test tubes with your blood in case something should happen, but also the secret service assigns you a code name.

The secret service is in charge of the security of the president and his family, and for protection uses key names for each of the members of the presidential family, in the same way it assigns one to the vice president, members of the cabinet and prominent places in U.S.

The use of such names was given for security reasons, and dates to a time when sensitive electronic communications were not routinely encrypted.

To date the names simply serve the purposes of brevity, clarity and tradition, as they are no longer secret because they are all in the public domain.

For example, the codename that belonged to the president John F. Kennedy, during his tenure, was the Lancer.

Since his administration was often compared to Camelot, the magical court of legend in which Lancelot he was a legendary knight.

The outgoing president Donald Trump is known as Mogul, which translates into Magnate.

The One With The First Lady Melania Trump era Muse which translates as Musa.

It is worth mentioning that the Secret Service does not choose the names, the communications agency of the White House, maintains a list from which candidates can choose the name with which they most identify.

Barack Obama chose the name of Renegade (Renegade)

George W. Bush that of Trailblazer (Innovative)

Bill Clinton called himself Eagle (Eagle).

Jimmy Carter took that of Deacon (Deacon) as he was extremely religious.

For its part, Joe Biden said he will keep the name of Celtic, who was the one he chose when he was vice president, while Jill Biden will keep that of Capri.

Kamala Harris chose the name of Pioneer (Pioneer) shortly after being chosen by Biden as his partner in the race for the presidency of I.

According to the established protocol, these code names are unambiguous words that can be easily spoken and understood by those who transmit and receive voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of their native language.

As a tradition, the code names of all members of the family begin with the same letter.
