There is 1 legit reason for a presidential pay hike. It raises the pay ceiling for all other gov employees. No government employee can be paid more then the president. Therefore if there was a gov employee worth $400K .yr then the president would need to be paid >$400K for that person to get their raise.

Not saying this is why their asking for the pay increase here but I remember this came up when Clinton raised the salary cap from $200K to $400K. (While Clinton signed the bill the pay increase took effect for Bush's term).

Personally I feel the President, Congress, and Supreme Court Justices should not be paid more then the Median income for the country. If they want to get paid more they need to work to raise the standard of living for everyone else.

Well shit, I mean, his pension is basically half of what the current salary is. Who can live on a measly $200k a year, when everything else is paid for as well.
