Noncompete Clauses: Signing Away the Right to Get a New Job

Really? Do you have a link for this?

This sounds very interesting and sort of funny. Not really sure how it works on other presidential houses, but still sounds amusing since it will probably require rules and guidelines on what exactly to deduct from the president's paycheck, no? What if the president invites someone over, in a sort-of-unofficial way but not really, do you get deducted as well? or maybe not because it was "for the job" sort of?

Definitely interested to know more.

I read about this in a book called The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House, which was decently interesting.

Thanks!

Like I said, it does sound reasonable but apparently it does add up. From the link:

"[Laura] Bush wrote that a bill came monthly, itemizing everything she and her family owed, including food, dry cleaning and hourly wages for waiters and cleanup crews at private parties."

"There were some costs that I was not prepared for," Bush wrote. "I was amazed by the sheer number of designer clothes that I was expected to buy, like the women before me, to meet the expectations for a first lady."
