What are the rules of the presidents salary?

Answer 1

As of 2001, the US president receives a salary of $400,000 per year. They also receive a $100,000 travel account, a $50,000 expense account and $19,000 for entertainment expenses per year. When they leave office they receive a pension which is equal to whatever salary current Cabinet members get.

Answer 2

A president gets 400,000 dollars a year, and if he wants to change his salary, he can do so, but it won't be effective until the next president takes office. So basically, he is giving a pay raise to the president after him, and not to himself.
