No...

$200,000...

And the increase did not affect President Clinton. It did not become
effective until 2001.

President Harry Truman was the first POTUS to have a salary of $100,000 and
President Ulysses S. Grant was the first to have a salary of $50,000.

CEO's of major corporations make FAR more -- as do many attorneys and
physicians.

So our Presidents are by no means "greedy".

Other Federal salaries are pegged to come in below that of the President.

This is all information readily available in the Public Domain.
