美国前总统奥巴马卸任后开启“捞金”生涯,他以40万美元(约合276万元人民币)的高价接下了一家华尔街投行的演讲邀请。奥巴马的超高“出场费”似乎令外界不满。据外媒报道,美国会共和党议员怒批奥巴马“虚伪”,并准备推动国会立法削减奥巴马的退休金。
Congress may seek to cut the pension of Barack Obama following his decision to accept a $400,000 fee for an upcoming speech to Wall Street executives.
美国国会可能试图削减奥巴马的退休金。因为他将以40万美元(约合276万元人民币)的出场费给华尔街高管们做演讲。
During his time in the White House, Mr Obama vetoed a bill that would have capped the retirement funds of former presidents should they accept large sums of outside income.
在就职总统期间,奥巴马否决了一项法案,该法案规定,如果前总统赚取高额的外部收入,那么将限制他们的退休金。
Now that Mr Obama himself meets those criteria, Republican sponsors of the bill have said they will revive the legislation and hope that President Donald Trump signs it into law.
现在奥巴马本人就属于这种情况,发起该法案的共和党人称,他们将恢复这则法规,并希望特朗普总统签署生效。
"The Obama hypocrisy on this issue is revealing," Jason Chaffetz, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and sponsor of the 2016 bill told USA Today. "His veto was very self-serving."
