A president's pension currently is $191,300 per year, until he is 80 years old.[[In-content Ad]]Assuming the next president lives to age 80, Senator McCain would receive zero pension, as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president.
Senator Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800 in pension. Therefore, it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.
