Does america's First Lady draw a salary and get pension entitlements?

Is being first lady actually an employed position, or just a title? Is she actually employed with a salary and benefits or does she only get them through her husband who is employed as President? Is this fair and correct?

    No, she is considered just a Housewife. This is fair , because she was not elected by the Majority, her Husband was. She is just a tag a long (just kidding).

    It's not fair and not correct and she gets no salary or benefits other than those her husband gets.

    In return she's expected to be in attendance at a wide assortment of openings, charity events, host dinners and entertain foreign dignitaries, head committees, hold teas for the spouses of congressmen on a regular basis, make appearances and speeches and dress in American designers.

    She does get a staff, given her workload she needs it, everone writing to the First Lady gets a response from her office.

    And before anyone starts carping about how Michelle gets vacations, those are standard for every First Lady, there is nothing Michelle has done that the others didn't. And shes done more than most.

    no salary though she does get a taxpayer funded staff and secret service protection. And I believe its fair as a family member of our President. Even though I may not agree with her or her husbands take on things they are still our President and first lady and should be treated accordingly
