4. Transition expenses

Saying goodbye to the Oval Office is not that easy, and because of that, the former president will get some help from the state in order to switch back to private life. This help consists of transition funding, and the former president will get it for the first seven months, starting one month before the January 20th inauguration.

As we already said, the former chief of state can use these funds to get a new office, hire staff for that office, and last but not least, cover all the postal expenses regarding this transition.

Congress is the entity that is designated to determine the amount of money that is provided and take care of the whole process.

  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
