The importance of money and power has been taught to us right from our childhood directly or indirectly. As kids we see our parents working hard for money so that they can provide us with all the worldly pleasures and necessities that we require. When we are grown up we struggle hard to compete for good positions in good companies which would also provide us better salaries to support our lifestyle and requirements. Every job has a salary and perks that are additionally given if you are on a top level position. So let’s find out more about President’s salary and the perks that they receive.
Of course being the First Citizen of the nation isn’t that easy as it seems which is why President’s salary is comparatively high than the rest in the cabinet. Different countries have different laws and constitutional liberties given to the politicians and the people of that country. Hence, President’s salary differs from country to country, though the powers and perks might not differ to such an extent. In the United States of America, annual President’s salary is around US$ 400,000 along with other annual expenses and non-taxable expenses for travel and entertainment.
In developing countries like India, President’s salary is around Rs. 12 laky annually along with other expenses for security, travel and entertainment. President’s salary in Philippines is approximately around Php 60,000 annually and when compared with the salary of President of the United States of America, it is 3,000 percent lower. The President of Singapore earns around S$3140000 annually along with other perks that are non-taxable.
From the salary numbers mentioned above we can clearly make out that the President’s salary is directly proportional to the economy of the country and other external factors like the development of the country, foreign exchange and so on.

Today, different countries celebrate different types of public and federal holidays throughout the entire year. Every country has its own culture and tradition and therefore the holidays mostly depend on the religious days that they celebrate and the national history that they have. However, there are certain national holidays that are common in every country throughout the globe, like Independence Day and Memorial Day. Apart from these national holidays there are certain federal holidays that are celebrated globally like Labor Day and Presidents Day.

Though, Presidents Day is mostly celebrated in many countries around the world, it is widely popular in the United States of America. In US, Presidents Day is also know better known as Washington’s Day and is a federal holiday that is normally celebrated on the third Monday of February. Generally it falls on the 15th or 16th of February and is celebrated in many states across the United States of America. Earlier the holiday was actually celebrated on Washington’ birthday which is February 22nd, but the day was later changed to third Monday of February by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. Interestingly the first Presidents Day celebration was held in 1951 to honor the office of Presidency, and not to honor any particular President.

It was in mid-eighties that through media and advertisements Presidents Day got enough publicity and attention and it became widely popular and many states later accepted it as a federal holiday. Many schools in the United States remain close for the entire week as a mid-winter recess. However, there are many non-government offices that remain open and workers do not get the day off.
Most people think that only United States of America celebrates Presidents Day. That is not true. Apart from United States of America, countries like Botswana and China also celebrate Presidents Day in their countries and have their own special ways to honor their past and current Presidents. Small country in South Africa, The Republic of Botswana has its president day.

The Republic of Botswana celebrates presidents day on July. Its the first Monday and Tuesday of the month. They celebrate it for 2 days.
