RE: I am a huge Obama supporter. I voted for Hillary. Now I support Trump.

I heard on a news broadcast that the U.S. President position makes $400,000 USD a year. Apparently Trump has agreed to do the job for $1 USD/year and waive his right to the remaining $399,999 USD

Has anyone else heard this? Is it true? Can you name any other president recently that has done this?

    I haven't heard this yet, but it would not surprise me. It will be one of the interesting things about Trump's presidency - he does not need to care about the money :)

      Two other U.S. Presidents did this too apparently... Herbert Hoover (1929-1933) and John F Kennedy (1961-1963)

      So it would have been 54 years since our last president opted out and took $1 USD salary.

      BBC news, in my opinion, acts like it's not a big deal. I think it is..

      John Kennedy was the last one. and the Herbert Hoover before that. They gave their salaries to charity (and Hoover gave some to his staff).
