If he puts his money where his mouth is and is willing to act as President for $1 a year, then it seems like a good idea, I guess. But the article doesn’t say anything about that.

No, the article doesn't say that, but he would look absolutely goofy without that condition, so I suspect *that* is a given. He wouldn't be accepting more than $1 a year himself. If he *does* go this route, that would *truly* shake things up, in Washington...

I'd bet he'd do it. With the cash flow he's got...150k to him is like me dropping a hundred bucks.

The Constitution requires Congress to set the salary of a president and setting the salary at $1 could create problems later. It makes more sense for McCain to donate his salary to the Treasury.
