WASHINGTON The presidency comes with a lot of perks: a house, a private jet, a vacation spot next to Maryland’s world-famous Catoctin Mountain (elevation: 1,900 feet), butlers, chefs and, for a lucky few, a bottomless supply of loyalty in Congress.
One way or another, President Donald Trump will have to give most of that up on Jan. 20. But retirement brings a whole other set of benefits. Aside from lifetime Secret Service protection, he becomes eligible for an annual pension north of $200,000, a small staff, franking privileges, office supplies and an office to go with them.

Former Obama adviser to lead Biden s management agenda.
Senior Correspondent
President-elect Joe Biden has named Jason Miller as his government management czar, tapping a former Obama administration economic adviser for the key role in setting the president’s management and federal workforce agenda.
Miller served under Obama from 2010 until the end of his second term as the deputy director of the National Economic Council, where he was one of the president’s top advisers on economic policy issues. He has more recently held a position at the Brookings Institution as a nonresident senior fellow and as CEO of the Greater Washington Partnership, a group aiming to improve the livability and workability of the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia area. Miller is currently serving as the Agency Review Team lead for the Biden transition at the U.S. Trade Representative
