How much is a member of Congress (Senate, House), Supreme Court, Presidency or Cabinet get paid?

Question

This would clarify some political beliefs

Answer 1

Its more what they dont get paid in their annual salary that matters.

12 billion up and disappeared in IRAQ.
Cash.
you telling me republicans who sent it arent getting some of that, and all the contracts they awarded with no competition..

Its all on the backend, and in the future is where they make their real money.

Answer 2

All amounts I give are yearly and do not include perks, which can be studied on the links I supply in the "sources" section below.

President: currently $400,000 in straight money. George Washington made $25,000. They also receive many, many
other perks. The President is the highest paid member of U.S. government. So no one makes more than that.


Supreme Court Judge: $173,600.

House of Representatives/Senate member: $165,200.

The Speaker of the House: $212,100
Majority and Minority Leaders: $183,500.

Cabinet Member: $180,100.

Considering that most of these people are millionaires before they ever join the government, I don't think the do it for the salary. Must be the perks?

Answer 3

Annual salary of each Representative is currently $165,200, though the Speaker of the House and the Majority and Minority Leaders earn more. The Speaker of the House earned $212,100 during the 109th Congress (January 4, 2005-January 3, 2007) while the Majority and Minority Leaders earned $183,500 (the same as the Leaders in the United States Senate).

Annual salary of each senator, as of 2006, was $165,200.

Annual salary of Chief Justice: $278,400.

Annual salary of President is $441,000

Annual salary of Cabinet secretaries (Executive Level I), which is $183,500 as of 2007.

Answer 4

House and Senate make about $165,000 per year. Current salary for the Chief Justice is around $202,900 per year, while Associate Justices make about $194,200.

President makes $400,000 and those in the cabinet make $171,000 (in 2003. Don't know the last 3 raises)
