What is a presidential salary after term?

100k a year for life.


What presidents donated their salary?

Several U.S. presidents have donated their salaries to various causes. Notably, John F. Kennedy donated his presidential salary to charity, while Herbert Hoover contributed his salary to the Boy Scouts of America. Additionally, Donald Trump pledged to donate his presidential salary to different government departments and initiatives. Other presidents, like Calvin Coolidge and Franklin D. Roosevelt, also donated portions of their salaries to charitable organizations.


How is the president's salary determined?

The President's salary is set by Congress. However, in order to prevent bribery or threats by Congress against the President, the Constitution provides that any changes to the President's salary cannot take effect until the beginning of the next Presidential term.


What is the Presidents salary as of January 2001?

In 2001, the annual presidential salary doubled from $200,000 to $400,000; the expense account stayed the same at $50,000. When adjusted for inflation to 2010 dollars, George W. Bush's average salary per year was equivalent to $452,000 per year. If you adjust all of the salaries of the Presidents for inflation, Bush's was the 8th-lowest.


Who was the first president to have a salary raise?

Increases in the presidential salary were made when a new President took office, so the president did not actually get a raise, he just got more than his predecessor. I do not think any president actually got a raise while his was in office.
