Technically, Secret Service is part of the department of Homeland Security, and they serve as more than just white house staff, such as Day 1. In fact, I rarely see them in the white house.

I don't want to get into the technical terms of office vs position, but I think listing the chief of staff as a member of the white house staff undermines the position, particularly the hands on role that most of them have had. - Xtreme680
