The pension is designed to provide for a former POTUS. Perhaps we could just revise it to take affect at mandatory retirement age.
I can agree with the premise...if we apply it to all elected officials.
If they retire and get a job, become lobbyists, anything that is not "retirement".
Or do we put a dollar amount on it? Make anything over the pension and you don't get the pension that year.
