I have always thought it absurd that some CEO who all but destroys a company and leaves a company even by mutual agreement should be more rivhly compensated than a retired POTUS. I would be more in favor of tieing Congress pay compensation to the actual productivity of said Congress doing the actual business of the people instead of using our tax money to continuously run for yet another term in office. If anyone should not receive a pension after leaving office, I would vote for Congress not to have one. Maybe they could amend this bill to reflect that idea.
