"Farewell Address" is the speech given by the vacating president. The term is used only if the speech was indeed a closing speech, a farewell to the office or a summary of what was done and what more needs to be done.

What is the amount of a US president's pension?
The pension for former presidents is $196,700 at the present time(2012) plus money for an office and staff for four and one-half years after they leave office. This amount can be adjusted at will by Congress. It is currently tied to the pay of cabinet members. For most of America's history, retired presidents did not receive a pension. In 1958 Congress passed the Former Presidents Act, which gave retired presidents a pension of $25,000 per year, an office, and a staff. Truman and Hoover were the former Presidents in 1958. Presidents who want to make more money usually have no problems getting speaking engagements or getting their books published. They usually get offers to teach as a visiting professor and to serve on corporate boards.

Why can a president leave the office?
In the American system of government, presidents are only allowed to serve two consecutive terms. This was not always so-- President Franklin Delano Roosevelt served nearly four (he died in office in his fourth term). After that, the constitution was amended so that no future presidents could serve more than two terms in a row. Thus, President Obama, who was elected in 2008 and re-elected in 2012, must leave office at the end of his second term.
