Since 1969, the US President's annual base salary has been $200,000 plus a $50,000 non-taxable expense account. After President Clinton leaves office in January 2001 (he can not be re-elected by law), he will begin drawing an annual pension of $151,800 plus up to $150,000 a year to maintain an office and staff. Mrs. Clinton will be entitled to $20,000 per year as a former First Lady. Retired presidents and first ladies receive protection from the Secret Service for 10 years after leaving office. Children of retired presidents receive protection until they are 16 years old. |
