The US Treasury issues paychecks to federal employees, including the President, under the authority and command of Congress, which authorizes the spending (although the Constitution naturally governs their authority). The Treasury's funds come from many sources, not just taxes as most self-absorbed Americans wrongly presume; rather, tariffs, duties, funds from the sale of Treasury bonds, collected fines, and other sources also comprise the source of the Treasury's payroll accounts.

The government does out of taxpayer funds collected by the IRS and deposited with the Treasury Department. The Executive Branch has a budget, and the President's salary is included in it somewhere.

From the President to the least known Senator, they are ALL paid by us tax-payers, and when they leave office, they go on drawing a salary until their death, also doled out of hard working tax-payers pockets.

The President receives his check every 2 weeks, just as any other Federal employee does, It is deposited into whatever account he chooses. These checks come from the US Treasury, as do all government checks. The funds come from the appropriate departments accounts.

The president, like ALL government employees and beneficiaries, get paid by the national treasury.
