Salary of the US President...$400,000. Salary of retired US Presidents...$180,000 Salary of House/Senate...$174,000. Salary of Speaker of House...$223,500. Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders...$193,400. Average US Salary...$33,000 to $77,000. Maybe our elected officials should make an average salary too... It's a time of sacrifice after all. Do a million of us have to march in protest in DC before they all get the message?
