Under the Former Presidents Act, A Conficted President does Not receive a Pension, Office Staff, Office Space, and Secret Service Protection. Then on a Second Vote, He could Lose the Ability to Hold Public Office.
The Former Presidents Act (3 U.S.C. 102 note) provides that "former Presidents" will receive certain Benefits:
- A Monthly Pension for Life at the Rate he received as the Head of an Executive Department.
- An Office Staff, with an Aggregate Salary up to $96,000 per year.
- Office Space appropriately Furnished and Equipped.
- Up to $1,000,000 per year for Security and Travel related Expenses. This Appropriation covers Secret Service Protection.
- Up to $500,000 for the Spouse of a Former President each Fiscal year for Security and Travel related Expenses.
But Under the Former Presidents Act, A Conficted President does Not receive a Pension, Office Staff, Office Space, and Secret Service Protection.
If Trump is Impeached before January 20, and Convicted after January 20th, he would still be a "Former President."
But there are other Laws that use Different Language on Who Counts as a "Former President."
So the Supreme Court could have another Case on their Hands.
