Does anyone know what the presidents salary is? I know for a long time it was $200.000.00 a yr. But I also heard that now it is $400.000.00, Anyone know what it is and when it was changed? I'm thinking either under Clinton or Bush but not sure! :D

400,000 a year plus 150,000 expense account,a 100,000 nontaxable travel account and a 19,000 entertainment account.The last raise was was voted on and signed in 1999 by congress and aproved by Bill Clinton.The constitution prohibits a pay raise for a sitting president.A president recives around 190,000 for a pension plus perks such as a travel fund.
Compare that to Geroge Washingtons pay of 25,000 a year Which he refused to accept because he was already a wealty man.Not a bad gig even with having to buy their own food!

OH yeah the VP makes around 200,000 a year.
