A bill was recently sent to Barack Obama’s desk that would decrease the amount of money he would receive after leaving the White House. Of course, Obama used his veto power in order to preserve his lucrative post-presidential paychecks.
Obama said he agreed with the bill’s objective, but said the “Presidential Allowance Modernization Act of 2016” included provisions that would have unintentionally hurt government employees who work for former commanders in chief in ways lawmakers probably did not intend.
“It would impose onerous and unreasonable burdens on the offices of former presidents, including by requiring the General Services Administration to immediately terminate salaries and benefits of office employees and to remove furnishings and equipment from offices,” Obama wrote in his veto message.
Considering Barack Obama has been a career politician his entire life, he will likely need the pensions in order to stay afloat. If not, he might end up “dead broke” like his pal Hillary.
