Capitol Demonstration Question

Here’s a question no one is asking. Why was Trump, leader of the Executive branch, responsible for protecting the Capitol, the home of the Legislative branch? Why aren’t Schumer and Pelosi on the hook for protecting the Capitol? It’s their office building.

Fascinating thought but since the Capitol belongs to the "People" we should have appointees to ensure it's protected, same as the White House and Pentagon are protected. Perhaps it's time it comes under the purview of the Secret Service or DHS. Representatives Schumer and Pelosi are elected officials and therefor subject to change, the security of the Capitol shouldn't be the responsibility of elected officials. Times have changed and any infrastructure that is subject to acts of terrorism, such as this was, should be properly protected.
