∙ 11y agoEx-presidents of the US currently received an annual pension of $191,300 plus money for secretarial expenses. The amount can be changed, even reduced, at the will of Congress- it is not part of the federal pension fund.

Yes, President Harry Truman did receive a pension after leaving office.

Did Richard Nixon get to keep his pension and secret service detail?
According to a 1974 opinion by the Department of Justice concerning President Richard Nixon's resignation from office, a President who resigns before his official term of office expires is entitled to the same lifetime pension and benefits that are authorized other former Presidents. However, a President who is removed from office by impeachment forfeits his pension and related benefits. The ruling states that The FPA [Former Presidents Act] provides certain benefits to "former Presidents." A former President is defined in Section (f) as a person who has been President, is not currently President, and who was not removed from office pursuant to impeachment and conviction in the Senate. The statutory language is unambiguous and Mr. Nixon clearly meets the statutory definition of a former President.1
