I quoted the .gov site and its statutes at that link.. Pull your head out of your ass... The Sgt At Arms is an ELECTED House Member. This means he is under Nancy Pelosi by statute... My gawd are you this stupid?Then you're a very stupid cop or a dishonest onePelosi is responsible for the security of the Capitol building by Statute.The Capitol Police answer to the Capitol Police Board.
That consists of the Sergeant at Arms of the Senate and the House and the Congressional Architect (??). Both of the SOAs have resigned. Neither is answerable to Pelosi (or McConnell to be fair)
Ingram is an idiot
As an elected officer of the House of Representatives, the Sergeant at Arms is the chief law enforcement and protocol officer of the House of Representatives and is responsible for maintaining order in the House side of the United States Capitol complex. The Sergeant at Arms reviews and implements all issues relating to the safety and security of Members of Congress and the Capitol complex. The Sergeant at Arms also coordinates extensively with the U.S. Capitol Police and various intelligence agencies to assess threats against Members of Congress and the Capitol complex.

The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is a federal law enforcement agency in the United States charged with protecting the United States Congress within the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its territories. It answers to the Capitol Police Board whose three members are appointed by two of the three branches of government (House, Senate and President), and is the only full-service federal law enforcement agency appointed by the legislative branch of the federal government of the United States.
There is a SAA for each House. They are responsible for direct security for their individual House of Congress but the overall security of the Capitol is a JOINT exercise and Pelosi has no more control over that than McConnell does (neither do)
Your inability to read is apparent.. The House Sgt at Arms is responsible for the whole Capitol Complex because he is under The Speaker of the House and that person is third in line to the presidency. Its called CHAIN OF COMMAND...
