Harry Truman (“General”)
As the history books reflect, Harry Truman was the first president to be awarded a code name by the secret service. He was already the 33rd president of the United States, marking a milestone moment where the tradition of assigning the best agents to the top-ranking political officials began. Although nobody can be sure why he was referred to as “General”, speculation suggests that it was related to his ambitions of being a general in an earlier phase of his career.
