You become President of the United States. A wealthy person attempts to bribe you to do what they tell you to do for one million US Dollars per year (paid weekly). Do you take this offer? (reddthat.com)

If not, how much would you counteroffer?

(If you aren't an American, assume for this hypothetical that you were suddenly granted citizenship and all other requirements are waived.)

Yeah nah, the US president makes 400k USD a year + benefits. That should be more than enough for any person.

If not, how much would you counteroffer?

If someone attempted to bribe me I would automatically assume their proposal was a bad idea.

Why get only 400k when you can have more? 😈
