She is the author, most recently, of Pursuing Truth, Exercising Power: So- cial Science and Public Policy in the Twenty-first Century (2003). For decades, the United States has been promoting democracy as the best form of government, and most Americans cannot comprehend why other societies would fail to embrace liberal-democratic political institu- tions. Yet democracy imposes some difficult demands. Among others, it asks its leaders to risk defeat in elections or (perhaps even more boldly) to retire from office at the end of a limited term. As Seymour Martin Lipset observed, “democratic norms require a willingness to accept po- litical defeat: to leave office upon losing an election, to follow rules even when they work against one’s own interest.”1 This is not an easy thing to do in the best of circumstances—that is, when two centuries or so of practice have made it routine.

  • Former Presidents: Pensions, Office Allowances, and Other Federal Benefits
    Former Presidents: Pensions, Office Allowances, and Other Federal Benefits Wendy Ginsberg Analyst in American National Government Daniel J. Richardson Research Assistant March 16, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL34631 Former Presidents: Pensions, Office Allowances, and Other Federal Benefits Summary The Former Presidents Act (FPA; 3 U.S.C. §102 note) was enacted to “maintain the dignity” of the Office of the President. The act provides the former President—and his or her spouse—certain benefits to help him respond to post-presidency mail and speaking requests, among other informal public duties often required of a former President. Prior to enactment of the FPA in 1958, former Presidents leaving office received no pension or other federal assistance. The FPA charges the General Services Administration (GSA) with providing former U.S. Presidents a pension, support staff, office support, travel funds, and mailing privileges. Pursuant to statute, former Presidents currently receive a pension that is equal to pay for Cabinet Secretaries (Executive Level I), which for calendar year 2015 was $203,700. Executive Level I pay was increased to $205,700 for calendar year 2016. In addition to benefits provided pursuant to the FPA, former Presidents are also provided Secret Service protection and financial “transition” benefits to assist their transition to post-presidential life. Pursuant to the FPA, former Presidents are eligible for benefits unless they hold “an appointive or elective office or position in or under the Federal Government or the government of the District of Columbia to which is attached a rate of pay other than a nominal rate.” The President’s FY2017 budget request seeks $3,865,000 in appropriations for expenditures for former Presidents, an increase of $588,000 (17.9%) from the FY2016 appropriation level.

    Order Code RL34631 Former Presidents: Pensions, Office Allowances, and Other Federal Benefits August 22, 2008 Wendy Ginsberg Analyst in American National Government Government and Finance Division Former Presidents: Pensions, Office Allowances, and Other Federal Benefits Summary The Former Presidents Act (FPA; 3 U.S.C. § 102 note) charges the General Services Administration (GSA) with providing former Presidents a pension, support staff, office support, travel funds, and mailing privileges. The FPA was enacted to “maintain the dignity” of the Office of the President by giving a former President — and his or her spouse — certain benefits so that he would not have to enter unsuitable occupations after leaving office. Former Presidents currently receive a pension that is equal to pay for the head of an executive department (Executive Level I), which was $191,300 as of January 1, 2008. The FY2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act allocated $2,478,000 for pensions and GSA assistance to former Presidents. The President’s FY2009 budget requested $2,934,000 for expenditures for former Presidents. Pending House and Senate appropriations legislation recommends the requested amount. Prior to 1958, former Presidents leaving office received no pension or federal assistance. After leaving office, some former Presidents — including Ulysses S. Grant and Harry S Truman — struggled financially. In 1912, industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie unveiled a plan to pay $25,000 pensions to all future former Presidents and their widows. The pensions were to be funded by the Carnegie Foundation of New York. Some Members of Congress and the public suggested it was inappropriate for a private company to pay pensions to former Presidents.

  • Presidential Pension & Retirement
    Order Code 98-249 GOV Updated March 18, 2008 Former Presidents: Federal Pension and Retirement Benefits Stephanie Smith Analyst in American National Government Government and Finance Division Summary Congress enacted the Former Presidents Act (FPA) in 1958 to provide former Presidents an annual lifetime pension, currently $191,300, and office allowances administered by the General Services Administration (GSA). The FPA, as amended, also provides former Presidents with travel funds and mailing privileges (3 U.S.C. 102 note). Secret Service protection for former Presidents is also authorized by statute. P.L. 110-161, the FY2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, authorizes $2,478,000 in funding for former Presidents. The President’s FY2009 budget requests $2,934,000 to provide former Presidents with pensions and office allowances. Introduction Chief executives leaving office prior to 1958 often entered retirement pursuing various occupations and received no federal assistance. When industrialist Andrew Carnegie announced a plan in 1912 to offer $25,000 annual pensions to former Presidents, many Members of Congress deemed it inappropriate that such a pension would be provided by a private corporation executive. That same year, legislation was first introduced to create presidential pensions, but it was not enacted. In 1955, such legislation was considered by Congress because of former President Harry S. Truman’s financial limitations in hiring an office staff. Enacted in 1958, the Former Presidents Act (FPA) has been amended to provide increases in presidential pensions and the allowances for office staff. Benefits Available to Former Presidents The General Services Administration (GSA) is authorized by the FPA to provide an office staff and suitable office space, appropriately furnished and equipped, at a location within the United States designated by a former President, for the rest of his or her lifetime.
