Obama was behind the sequestration. We should have known his paycheck would be exempt.
(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama won’t have to worry
about his paycheck if the spending sequestration included in the Budget
Control Act that he signed into law in 2011 begins taking effect this
Friday.
A report
published last month by the Congressional Research Service--“Budget
Sequestration and Selected Program Exemptions and Special
Rules"--identifies certain programs that are exempt from sequestration
and lays out special rules that govern the sequestration of others.
Section 255 of the Budget Control Act includes “Compensation for the President” as one of those exemptions (Page 19)
They actually specifically exempted “Compensation for the President?” Seriously? A president with integrity would have made sure his and congresses paychecks were included.
