I can understand a two year (one term) transition period. Former constituents, current members, etc. would be maintaining contact with a former Speaker (I think a lot of folks miss how major a role that is). But after two years they should be 100% off the public dole.

Similarly, former POTUSes should have security details and leave the perks beyond any pension at that. They all make more $$ in retirement than they make as POTUS.

The situation may have changed but SCOTUS justices and former VPs don’t get any perks after leaving office.
