Does a president's salery always remain the same while in office?

Question

Can he be convicted of bribery and remain in office?

Answer 1

Not really. He would have to go through the impaechment process first. One convicted, he would be removed from office. Then, any criminal action could be started. A sitting president cannot be charged with a crime. He also cannot be sued for any actions involving the duties of the presidency.

Also, the presidents salary is pretty set to my knowledge. But, he doesn't pay for anything out of his pocket anyway. I don't don't think the president even retains possession of items like credit cards during his time in office. I bet the president can't even remember the last time he had cash on his person. They literally pay for nothing.

Answer 2

Congress sets the president's compensation.

One would expect a president even credibly accused, much less convicted, of bribery would be impeached (or resign, as Vice President Agnew did in 1973).

Answer 3

A President receives a salary increase just as the Congress does.

A President would have to be accused of the crime and then impeached. If he were guilty, I would assume he would resign and probably receive a pardon before the process could be completed.
