2. So, there are more Marshals than attendees.

3. What limits are there?

From the article, emphasis added:

Officers from 44 different departments and agencies from across the country volunteered to support security operations.

The U.S. Marshals granted these officers special deputation, which grants them federal jurisdiction and authority as they support the U.S. Marshals and U.S. Park Police.

Until they go home? In perpetuity?

4. I still have bicentennial stuff.
