After sleeping on Secret Service DirectorJulia Piersons testimony, Rep. Elijah Cummings, the most senior Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, had a change of heart and is now calling for Piersons resignation.

The president is not well servedI think this lady has to go Ms. Pierson, Cummings, D-Maryland, said during a radio interview with Roland Martin on NewsOneNow this morning.There has to be drastic changes.

It appears that the latest news about an incident in Atlanta, where the president ended upon an elevatorwith a contractor who wasconvicted felon and who had concealed a firearm, was the final straw for Cummings.

Im convinced that she is not the person to lead that agency. My trust has eroded, Cummings later told Diane Rhem during another interview today on WAMU. This is supposed to be the No. 1 protective agency in the world, guarding the most protected person in the world, the most protected house in the world. And it appears they are not doing a very good job.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says she subscribes to Cummings analysis that Pierson, should resign.

I agree with his analysis, yes,Pelosi, D-Calif., said during a news conference today at the Capitol. If thats what he is suggesting, I support his suggestion. But if you follow up and say, tell me why you think she should leave, I dont have the knowledge that he has so I am subscribing to his superior judgment and knowledge on the subject.
