[PornoMonster]

$500,000

AND

Pay raises are usually approved by Congress, the last increase being authorized
by both Congress and Bill Clinton in 1999 and went into effect in 2001.
The
Presidential pay raise also now includes a $50,000 annual expense account, a
$100,000 nontaxable travel account and $19,000 for entertainment.

Humm, crazy just hit.. Maybe it was fake.. ha

[DWB]

Considering the mess they have all caused, and the total lack of bipartisanship happening now, I don't see how it is OK for anyone in the government to get a raise of any kind right now.

[EddyTheDog]

To put it in perspective - What would the equivalent job in private industry be?..

"Please submit your CV - Job Title: Running the world....."

By comparison, how much are the other 'leaders of the free world' paid?

As for the executive orders, here's a history of them as they are fairly common.

Employees do not pays taxes on "per diem".

Per Diem Taxes

Per diem allowance payments are not taxable to the employee as income tax or the employer as any type of business tax unless that per diem amount is in excess of the federal per diem rates.

Per diem allowance typically cover the costs of travel, meals and incidental expenses. An example of an incidental expense is if the employee had to purchase a new toothbrush and toothpaste.

The president works in the White House but that is not his house, therefore he is in fact "away from home" to be employed as president.

the president can't give himself a payraise via executive order.

[Rochard]

The price for running the country in the ground - Priceless!

I find it hard to believe the guy giving back his money is signing an order to increase his pay.

According to the Constitution, the President’s salary can’t be changed during his/her term: “The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.”

Now you can thank good ol' George W for increasing the pay from $250k to $400k.

[2MuchMark]

Considering all the assholes he has to put up with, $500k is a bargin for sure.

[dyna mo]
