*sigh*...why is it sometimes I feel like I have the only working version of google... You cant use a search engine? sheesh... HERE: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2009/01/04/58949/bush-first-ex-prez-to-face-limit.html WASHINGTON President George W. Bush's "after-life," as Laura Bush calls the post-presidency, is shaping up to be pretty comfortable, with a Dallas office, staffers, Secret Service protection, a travel budget, medical coverage and a $196,700 annual pension, all at taxpayers' expense. However, Bush will be the first president not to benefit from one former lifetime benefit: Secret Service protection. "He'll be the first one to receive it for 10 years," said Malcolm Wiley, Secret Service spokesman. Congress changed the law in the 1990s so that any president elected after Jan. 1, 1997, and his or her spouse will receive the federal protection for only 10 years. ----------------------------- Bush loses SS protection in 2018...
