Us President Perks

The US President is one of the most highly influential persons around the world, receiving a substantial financial package accompanied by multiple allowances and lifetime benefits.

The first president in recent history to reside in the White House without his immediate family still seems wonder-struck by his new home.

Barack Obama has said that one of the biggest perks of being the US President is Air Force One and singer Buddy Guy coming to White House with his guitar.

The Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday backed President Barack Obama's nominee to head the US Treasury, Jack Lew, despite some concerns about his perks from previous employers, clearing the way for a confirmation vote in the full Senate.

Lee said US presidents earn millions of dollars after they retire. "All they have to do is to turn up for an appearance, make a few remarks (and they receive) a hundred thousand dollars a time," he added.
