POLL: Do you think WE the People Should charge rent to the Presiding President to live in our White house?

This seems to be a recurring thing with every President that has taken office there3 , it is the Taxpayers that have built that house , and the current one in it has sequestered our house , is that right? and if he doesn't allow us into our own house wouldn't it be proper to charge him rent? he has and continues to use it , but we can't. He invites anyone in it except the people that pay to maintain it, so why must we the people pay for something that's already ours but we cannot even use it? isn't that a waste of Taxpayers money?

    The current so-called president should be evicted. He has no right to live in the White House. He wasn't born in the United States. He never served in the armed forces. He has a fine hatred for this country and has said so over and over. So why is he even allowed to stay in this country?

    No. The President of the United States, a country of 315 million people with assets and involvements all over the world gets a paltry $400,000 a year salary. The average CEO, well, I think you know how they would compare. The least he deserves is free rent.

    Nope - the White House is also where the president works.

    Lots of jobs have perks & benefits. A place to live in is one of those perks for our president. Many university presidents live in a house provided by the university.

    A house to live in, is a 'garden variety' perk for presidents.

    No, because WE the PEOPLE hired him for a job and one of the perks of that job is lodging.

    HE is there because he was voted in. Not because he applied for a room for rent.

    That would need to be some substantial rent, because you're (we're) simultaneously paying him $400, 000 per year as salary, plus executive incidentals..
