Similar to this, there was an incident where Nixon (who was probably drunk) decided, in the middle of the night, with just his valet and a handful of Secret Service agents, to go down to the Lincoln Memorial where people were protesting his administration.

One of the craziest pre-Trump POTUS stories
The Secret Service were scared to begin with, but Nixon insited on going. Later on, as the crowd got more and more brazen, the Secret Service made an excuse for him to leave, telling him that he had a phone call at the White House, but Nixon waved them off and told them to let it wait.
