House lawmakers next week are expected to pass legislation that would cap pensions for former presidents, and also scale back the monetary allowance they're allowed to use to rent an office and keep a staff.
The Former Presidents Act is expected to get a vote early next week. The bill, from Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga., would cap the pensions of former presidents at $200,000, just a bit lower than the $205,000 they receive today.
It would also cap office and staff payments at $500,000. That would drop to $350,000 after five years, and drop again to $250,000 five years after that.
