Yes, he does. Indirectly anyway. The President does not have direct control of this process. He does set the agenda and direction that the Congress is to go. The power is in the Congress. If they had morals they could resist the temptation to take more from the public and not provide a bill that raises taxes.

The President ultimately signs for the new tax bill and budget each year.

Another View: As an employee of the US Government, the President is subject to income taxes (and ALL other taxes) the same as any other individual citizen.

Are the salaries of federal judges still exempt from income taxes?

No. The President's and federal judges' salaries were only exempt from income tax between 1920 and 1939, under the theory that the tax was unconstitutional because it "diminished" their salary, which is prohibited under Article III.When Congress passed the Public Salary Tax Act of 1939, it specifically required all federal employees to pay tax on their salaries. The US Supreme Court upheld the legislation as constitutional in O'Malley v. Woodroush, 307 US 277 (1939).Federal judges pay income tax on their salaries.
