Would President Trump actually lose anything from impeachment?
James Curry, associate professor of political science at the University of Utah, said
there are certain benefits that the president would only lose if the Senate removed
him from office before January 20. “The Former Presidents Act provides ex-presidents
with a number of benefits, including a $200k annual pension, a travel allowance, lifetime
Secret Service detail, and more,” he says. “However, the president would lose some
of these things if the Senate voted to remove him from office before Jan. 20. He would
lose the pension and other monetary benefits, but not the Secret Service protection.”
