Post presidential perks should be a performance bonus. Zero does not get any bonus.

He wants to be grandfathered in on weekly Air Force One golf junkets.

Obama says the bill would also interfere with the Secret Service’s ability to protect ex-presidents. …

That sounds like a feature rather than a bug.

An ex-President should not have an expense account.

President Xero will soon enter the Clintons rarified air of multimillions in speaking fees. Financially capitalizing on public
“Service” (a term loosely used) is a cottage industry for former failed, disgraced Democrat Presidents.

I don’t see why an ex-President needs staff or office space. Or even a pension. There are NO poor ex-Presidents, one book deal is enough to set them for life.

All those useless bastards have pensions. Let them pay for what they need from those funds. Stop raping the treasury. It isn’t yours to squander!

staffers carrying out the official duties of former presidents.

What exactly are the duties of former presidents?

Try as I might I can not think of a single one. Certainly the Constitution does not describe any.

Why does an ex-president need a staff and if he decides he needs one why shouldn’t he pay for it himself?

Every former president should get zilch expenses. Harry Truman drove his wife home to Missouri.

More of obama’s blatant, in-your-face, corruption.

And now they want Hillary, who’d make obama look like a piker.

the measure doesn’t provide enough time for these employees to be moved to another payroll.

Well, it’s not like they didn’t have prior notice...
