Presidential Townhouse: Off Limits
Adjacent to the White House sits the Presidential Townhouse. In 1969, Richard Nixon decided it would be the official place for former presidents visiting Washington, DC to stay. The home has accommodations for the Secret Service, a few bedrooms, 2 dining rooms and is 5 stories high. The house is maintained through a support fund. Interestingly enough, the President is forbidden to stay in this home while in office.

Ex-Presidents Are Encouraged To Travel
Ex-presidents are encouraged to travel after being in office. The government gives them a $1 million annual travel stipend to encourage they serve as goodwill ambassadors for the rest of their lives. They also maintain diplomatic passports for life, meaning they can travel wherever they want. The wives of previous Presidents also receive some cash for travel…$500,000!
