In the history of the USA only four presidents refused a salary. Instead, they donated all or part of it.
These are:
1. Donald J. Trump donates his $400,000 annual salary to various federal departments.
2. John F. Kennedy donated his $100,000 salary to six charities. He retained the $50,000 entertainment allowance.
3. Herbert Hoover divided his salary between various charities. He gave some of it to his staff.
4. George Washington donated his $25,000 salary. He used some of it for travel expenses. He needed a special chariot to take him through the rugged roads of the South. He had also foregone a salary while he was America's military commander.
