    The Facts

    • The US House on Friday voted unanimously, 405-0, for a bill requiring the Secret Service to devote as many resources to protecting major-party presidential candidates as they use to protect presidents and vice presidents.

    • The bipartisan bill, which was introduced by House members from New York and New Jersey, is separate from a bill being worked on to increase the Secret Service's funding before an Oct. 1 deadline.
