i think they do collect a 'pension'. had something to do with men like monroe and grant dying broke, living on the charity of others after a lifetime of service. i don't agree that congress members should get a lifelong retirement, honestly they may have to revisit the presidents stipend in view of the salaries earned in speaking fees, etc. but i can see the former chief exec getting money after serving.
