The Chinese president makes just over $19,000 per year. See the related link.
No. Full time judges receive a salary. Part time judges normally earn an hourly rate, or a set salary for the number of court sessions they preside over.
they vote for a new one
I believe congress chooses their salary because the value of money changes over time and so if it was just one set salary made by the constitution it would cause the president to make less.
Congress is made up of the House and Senate which gives them responsibility to debate the president's salary, instead of a single person. That would give a single person too much power.
Yes he has. Roughly speaking, in terms of purchasing power that salary has remained more or less the same over time; it even had more purchasing power than today in the 19th century. George Washington's 1789 salary of $ 25,000 for instance would be worth $ 640,000 in today's dollars. President Obama has to make do with $ 400,000.

No."The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them." Art. II, Sec. 1
President Barack Obama earns a base salary of $400,000 per year. He is also given a few nice bonuses like an annual expense account, a travel account and a $20,000 entertainment stipend. These fringe benefits bring the President's total salary to over $550,000 each year. Has the president always been paid so little, considering the weight and responsibility of the job? Well, some decades are better than others. For example, back in the late 1700s, when America was young, the president's annual salary was $25,000. If you adjust $25,000 for inflation, that figure translates to about $560,000, which is approximately Obama's salary including the perks. By contrast, President Richard Nixon's salary in 1969 was $200,000, which is a little over $1 million dollars in today dollars. He may have claimed not to be a crook, but in presidential salary terms, he was a hustler. Still, that's nothing compared to President Theodore Roosevelt. The first Roosevelt earned a salary of $75,000 per year - in modern bucks, that's $1.7 million dollars. You could buy a lot of Teddy Bears with that kinda scratch. I would not be surprised if by 2025, the President would be making close to $750,000 per year, however, that won't be much by then. It will probably be worse that Barack Obama's current salary.
