Best Answer

Each President picks his/her own staff, which become the President’s closest advisors and usually have offices in the White House. (West Wing) Their titles do not always indicate the function they perform for the Chief Executive--assistant to the President; special consultant; counselor; etc. The titles vary from one administration to the next but in general, the men and women who hold the offices oversee the political and policy interests of the President. As part of a personal staff, they do not have to be confirmed by the Senate and they can be hired and fired at will. There are two ways to organize the staff: the circular method in which several assistants report directly to the President; and the pyramid method in which most assistants report through a hierarchy to a chief of staff who then deals with the President. Over the years, the White House staff has become an important group of advisors to the President and at times, are very powerful in influence.

What is the amount of the 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.
