The Constitution forbids any change in the President's salary
'during the period for which he shall have been elected'. From Truman's second term Presidents have been given expenses allowances of $50,000 a year, taxable from 1953, for which they do not have to account. Since 1909 they have also received a traveling allowance, currently $100,000, though most of their travel costs, like most of the non-personal costs of the White House, are met from other budgets.
