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.

Where is the Oval Office presidential rug when the U.S. is at war?
The rug remains in the Oval Office at all times. The rug is property of the United States, however, it is my understanding the president has the option of taking the rug with them when they leave office. Usually the rug appears in that presidents library or is housed in archives. Each new president can request the use of a rug from a former president or they can have a rug created for them. Laura Bush created the current rug that President Obama has decided to retain.
