Some critics argue that President Thomas Jefferson took a narrow view of presidential powers. He believed in a strict interpretation of the Constitution, which limited the scope of the federal government and sought to maintain states' rights. As a result, he was cautious about expanding the powers of the presidency and was hesitant to exercise authority beyond the specific powers granted to the executive branch by the Constitution.

Did President Obama actually raise his Presidential Salary to 1000000 in January 2013 after winning reelection?

No, this is another of those internet myths, often spread by opponents of the president (but in this case, spread by a website that specializes in jokes and satire). The president's salary has been the same since it was raised during the first term of President Bush. No further raises or increases have taken place. The current presidential salary is $400,000, and Mr. Obama has done nothing to change it.
