How much will our new leaders earn?

President of the United States of America

The President leads the executive branch of the federal government. The commander in chief is called upon to make sure laws are faithfully executed as given in the Constitution and written by Congress. Article Two of the Constitution establishes many of the powers of  the President including the role of commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the power to sign into law or veto bills passed by both houses of Congress, the power to create a cabinet of advisers, and to grant pardons or reprieves.

Specific qualifications for this position are rather broad. Article Two of the Constitution states that a candidate must:

  • be a natural-born citizen of the United States;
  • be at least thirty-five years old;
  • have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.
Annual base salary: $400,000
