Original Note:
Under Title 18 U.S.C. 3056(a)(7), the 120 days out period from an election is for candidate spouses. Candidates themselves can receive earlier protection as directed by a Presidential memorandum. Robert Kennedy qualifies, dependent on the issuing of the memorandum. https://www.secretservice.gov/protection/leaders/campaign-2024 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/3056
