Karen Pence (“Hummingbird”)
Karen Pence may not have received as much limelight as the first lady during the time of her husband’s vice presidency, but that doesn’t mean that she wasn’t allocated a code name from the secret service. After her husband picked a name starting with “H”, she couldn’t resist going for “Hummingbird”, which is reflective of her calm demeanor and kind nature, while also giving a nod to her favorite bird species. We give her extra credit for the creativity that went into the choice.

Al Gore (“Sawhorse” or “Sundance”)
Al Gore “won” the 2000 presidential election, until a recount saw George W. Bush elected and his hopes of reaching the top office dashed forever. Always one to make jokes about himself, at some point he suggested that he was so boring, that his real name was being used as his code name. His real code name was actually “Sawhorse” in the time he was in public office, and “Sundance” after he entered the presidential race.
