42 million is in GBP; so its probably more like 100 million USD.
Anyways, the president actually does stuff, like sign bills and make decisions and stuff, so i can see where the cost is justified.
We sort of have a monarchy here; i.e. the Kennedys and all the rich WASPs in the north east.
But they are independantly wealthy and we don't really care about what they do.
I think the UK Royal Family should do the same; just live off their own wealth without sucking up public money.
