Perhaps what we need is an "Presidential Entrepreneur, Enterprise Law" that states once you make more than (?? X) the retirement salary,
you are considered running a corporation or business for profit.
That business could be speaking engagements, organizing personal or political business strategies, investment opportunities, or guest appearances for money.
There is no way that the government should be subsidizing any such personal business or personal security, or subsidizing the success of that business venture.
Entrepreneurs regularly evaluate risk and return and then make a decision to fold, hold back, or, move forward.
Once an individual reaches the ?? X limit, they continue to receive the Presidential pension, but Secret Service security is dropped,
as is their direct access to confidential memos and committee reports(Think Awan brothers using/selling insider information).
Sounds good to me-——the ex-pres’s MUST be restrained.
Limiting post-prez income is a great way.
(HAT TIP TILTED IRISH KILT) what we need is a "Presidential Entrepreneur, Enterprise Law" that states once the ex-prez pockets more than the retirement salary, pensions, Secret Service and other perks (amt to be determined) they are now considered to be running a money-making corporation or business for their own profit.
That post-presidency businesses could include (A) speaking engagements, (B) consultancies, (C) organizing personal or political business strategies, (D) investment opportunities, (E) money-gathering foundations, (F) profit-making presidential centers/libraries, (G) selling access to govt entities and individuals, and/or, (H) guest appearances for money.
Taxpayers should not be subsidizing any such personal business or personal security, or subsidizing the success of the ex-president's business ventures.
The law should regularly evaluate the income---amid risks and returns---then forthrightly terminate tax-funding.
Once an ex-president reaches the law's dollar limit, they can continue to receive the Presidential pension, but Secret Service security is dropped, as is their direct access to classified intel, confidential memos and Congressional committee reports.
