That has to be approved by Congress. Will they do it?
Nah. They'll fight tooth and nail like they always do.

They give him everything he wants and not one penny more all the time.
Not one penny more? Actually, they have given him more...often...
Example the Iran deal. They gave up the Treaty powers in the Constitution and The House has given him the power of the purse...

It should be by direct vote of the public, each time it comes up.

In 2017 alone, Obama wants nearly an 18% hike in expenditures
$588,000. Hardly half-a-vacation or Michelle-momma-and-the-girls...

From the moment he was inaugurated in 2009, Obama has been bound and determined to firmly install himself and his family as the
most classless to ever reside in the White House.
Why would he stop after he leaves?
To: afraidfortherepublic
The Congressional Research Service reports that for requests for both 2016 and 2017 fiscal years, Obama's proposed federal budget would expand funding through the Former Presidents Act. In 2017 alone, Obama wants nearly an 18% hike in expenditures
$588,000. That means $3.865,000 in appropriations will be available to spend on former Presidents! Correct me if I'm wrong but there are currently three former presidents. In January 2017 there will be four. Don't they have to increase the budget based on headcount alone?
To: puppypusher
I agree that a President making millions shouldn’t be paid this huge “pension” or whatever it is called. BUT - I wonder if then the liberals will turn it around and say “Well then SS benefits should be means-tested as well. Why are all these millionaires getting SS benefits!?”

Oblivious to the fact that those millionaires paid into the system at the point of a gun with the assurance that they would get a SS benefit at the end.

$588,000. That means $3.865,000 in appropriations will be available to spend on former Presidents! Since there will be 5 former presidents in 2017 versus 4 now, he could have tried to justify a 25% increase in spending under the Former Presidents Act.
This link shows how the money is currently allocated. It shows that all the ex-presidents receive the same pension, although there are more total expenditures for the more recent former presidents.
That has to be approved by Congress. Will they do it?
Very likely. The money is already authorized under the current law. They could adjust that law before they vote on the budget.
This actually is not a pay raise for Obama personally.
To: Windflier
Heck. My husband and I own our own business and neither of us has taken a pay check in 5 years. We seem to be operating as a welfare program for our employees.

Can you imagine the situation if, by some horrible outcome, Hillary becomes President.
She will double-down on this deal and bring it over the $1,000,000 mark.
--then both of the money-grubbing bastids will add another mountain of tax-payer cash to to the ocean of green they will be swimming in.
This is reaching nightmare levels for a system that purports to be a democratic Republic.
