Barack Obama collects over $400,000 per year as part of his presidential salary. But in the month of October, he isn’t planning to do much work. Instead, he’s asked his staff to clear his calendar so that he can campaign for Hillary Clinton.
This isn’t sitting well with some taxpayers. They’re circulating a petition that demands that Obama’s salary be withheld while he campaigns for Hillary Clinton.
To Congress:When a lame duck President reaches his last few months in office he often endorses a candidate from his party to secede him. Rarely however, does that same lame duck President spend weeks or even months prior to the November election actively campaigning for his successor.
President Obama has made it clear via White House staff, that his calendar needs to be cleared for the month of October in order to actively campaign around the country for Hillary Clinton. This is utter neglect for the duties of which he was elected, specifically to protect the country from outside attacks and to uphold the laws Congress has passed. Campaigning to ensure his legacy is not justification for neglecting the duties he was elected to fulfill.
We the People demand that Congress withhold President Obama’s salary, pension, travel expenses, etc. for any time he spends actively campaigning for Hillary Clinton between now and the election in November. The People of the United States demand accountability for funding to public officials—all bills related to revenue must begin in the House of Representatives.
Barack Obama may be free to campaign for whoever he wishes, but he may no longer be able to do it on the taxpayer’s dime — if these Americans get their way.

Oh come on where does he get that kind of money
What about impeachment?
Agree
Obummer should not receive pay for campaigning for Killary. But he’ll still get paid. He even gets paid for playing golf, going on expensive dates with Michael and to a Broadway show. That’s one thing wrong with our governments!
oh god …it seems ‘muricans’ have reached a new level of stupid … sigh… It is every American’s duty to keep a misogynistic, narcissistic, child rapist out of the white- house, Obama should be paid extra.
