Do you want to know how much money Barack Obama will receive for being a federal retiree?
Apart from his pension, the former president will enjoy medical insurance and protection of the secret service
Starting at noon, Barack Obama will technically become a civilian almost like anybody, but also in a federal retiree. The annual salary of the American presidents is $ 400,000, which Donald Trump has said he will reject, but Michelle Obama's husband will have at his disposal $ 207,800 per year, plus medical insurance and secret service protection for the rest of his life. In addition, during the first seven months of his transition to a private life, Obama will receive seven months of his normal salary, which is commonly given to all former presidents.
According to CNN, all former presidents do not receive the same pension. In the case of Jimmy Carter, for example, he does not have health insurance because he has not worked for the federal government for more than five years. Most former presidents supplement their income by publishing books and selling private speeches, as has Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and his father, Bush H. W. Bush.
Just as tradition is, as soon as the opening ceremony ended yesterday, former president and his wife, Michelle Obama, boarded a helicopter shortly before 1pm to Andrews, Maryland. The Obama held hands as they walked to the military aircraft, parked in the eastern courtyard of the Capitol.
already on the basis, Barack shared your feel to the public: "what I said before and what I will say again: when we started this trip, we did a faith unwavering in the American people that can be changed the country", said the former President. "michelle and I have been to the forefront of you. we have been the face, voice to the front, on the screen, and has not been tried to US, always attempts have been made of you. and all the things surprising that occurred in these years, leave a testament in favor of you".
Obama used their social networks for saying goodbye of the American people, which for eight years believe in him. "serve, has been honored largest of my life. I have made a best leading and better man".
