Just wondering; is there any place that says POTUS is a fulltime job????

What if a first family could not get by on 400,000$ and POTUS decided to take another job?

Mark Twain had to help him out.

Back then the Prez was allowed to have investments and biz ventures, but Grant's failed.

Nowadays, Presidenting is a full-time job and outside biz is put in trust. Besides, He gets another hundred thou or so in expense money and doesn't have to pay for rent, food, or travel.
