No, but it also doesn't take into affect prior funds received through investments and party bonuses.
The Presidential Salary was established at $400,000 annually in 2001 when Bushie gave himself a raise.
It was $200,000 in 1969 through 2000, with a $50,000 non-taxable spending account.

Let's pay the football player millions of dollars a year to "entertain" us, and pay the leader of the free world a measly $400k. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense doesn't it? Glad to see we Americans have our priorities straight.

IN that range, yes. But nobody who was elected president depended on his presidential salary! You can bet that presidents going back to George Washington made a living doing other things! (some not always legal)

Yep. Of course, he's worth about 12¢ a decade, and that only if he spends it on his knees with a cleaning rag in both hands.

I thought it was $240,000. not bad for a job that usually costs 100s of millions of dollars to get. but along with the money you get the coveted prize of POWER!
