Given the fact that no sitting federal representative was tweeted from (i.e. Pres, VP, congress person etc.)

I think they probably have a different authorization method. One that might be wholly separate from the ones of regular or blue check mark users.

Likely monitored by the NSA or something like that.

If that's the case I wonder if heads of state and aministrations of other countries have similar protections. It's crazy how Twitter has become a channel for broadcasting important messages and PSA by administrations all over the world.
