Ronald Reagan: Rawhide

In the Wild West, former President Ronald Reagan did not grow up, but he became synonymous with the image of his early days. After growing up in Illinois, Reagan soon relocated to California, and Reagan began his career as an actor. After appearing in some movie roles, this Midwest man quickly called himself a Western star. And we mean, literally, “made a name for himself,” according to the news. Rawhide’s code name for Reagan’s Secret Service is supposedly derived from his Western film origins and Western image, which he often referred to. He campaigned in the U.S. for the presidency.

Hillary Clinton: Evergreen

If a Secret Service code name is given to a president, it is a tradition that other members of his (or, perhaps, her) family get their own code names beginning with the same letter. In the case of Hillary Clinton, the Eagle code name of her husband meant her name also needed to start with an E and the nickname of her daughter, Chelsea. Clinton got Evergreen’s code name. Indeed, the name was so evergreen that she retained the same code name as First Lady during her tenure when Clinton ran her own presidential campaign in 2016. The nickname Energy was given to her daughter.
