7. Funeral costs
We know that it might sound unsettling, but one of the first tasks that a new commander-in-chief gets is to plan their own funeral. At the moment they pass away, they can benefit from a state funeral, and in this way, the nation can say goodbye to them. The funeral will be planned in accordance with the preferences of the former president and their family.
Today, when we think of a state funeral, the first things that come to mind are the lowered flags, the flag-draped coffin, the flight of twenty-one fighter aircraft, and the gunfire salutes. These are all presidential funeral traditions, and we have witnessed them at most funerals of presidents or former presidents.
The Washington Military District oversees these protocols, but in the end, the family of the former president is the one who determines the specific rites and rituals.

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.
Tax payer perks are the one thing that has to be investigaterd asGov’t corruption.
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.
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.

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.
I wonder what Biden’s funeral arrangements will be including his children.
Trump is the corrupt man. If you support that lying idiot you should move to Russia where lying is acceptable
