3. Staff and office allowances

Six months after they leave office, the former presidents can get a new office. The administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration gave them this benefit, and every year they got an amount of money for this new office space.

Even if the administrator can set a cap on how much money is put into the new space, the former president is allowed to choose any location within the territory of the United States. This little piece of information explains why Bill Clinton received $511,000 per year for his office while Barack Obama got $84,000.

Besides the fact that they get the office fully furnished, including supplies, they also get an office staff. The former president is entitled to a maximum of $150,000 per year for the first 30 months after leaving office. Afterward, they will get a maximum of $96,000 annually for staff expenses.

  1. When Slick Willie (Bill Clinton) left office, Hillary said they were “dead broke”. Bullshit. Slick Willie has his mansion and Hillary has her very own mansion. They have no idea what the definition of “broke” is.

  2. The 1958 former presidential act should be revised, enough of this and make the becoming a president a little more difficult and not all the benefits as to what i have seen they dont deserve all this. Just 1 year secret service protection, for life for get it and just 1/2 or their pay on retirement, and all of the other allowances forget it like the offices allowances, this is crazy and can save much money
    and believe me cut down on all these idiots wanting to be a president.

  3. Oh Yes, wanting to be President is a temporary job and should not be a life time of benefits and
    protection as it is costly and the person elected should understand this, they should just be offered more limited benefits and protection as i see most of their risks are when they are in office, reduce the Government spending.

  4. You support the lying, abuser of women and underage children and murderer of the capital police!! What the f—-
    Is the matter with you!!!??? You want a dictator!? Go to Russia or Iran. Shame on you you greedy pieces of filth!!!!

  5. They also get exorbitant speaking fees – both President and First Lady as well as book deals and other financial perks, plus positions on various boards of directors.

  6. Trump is the corrupt man. If you support that lying idiot you should move to Russia where lying is acceptable
