President is a member of the military forces. The
Constitution, Article II, Section 1, in paragraph 7
provides:
 
"The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his
Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased
nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have
been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period
any other Emolument from the United States, or any of
them."
 
      In other words, the Constitution provides for a flat
compensation for all services rendered by the President
without allocation among the various services performed.
That, however, in no way changes the nature of the services
rendered and since the Constitution specifically provides
for compensation there is no occasion for paying any of his
compensation out of moneys allocated specifically for
military purposes.
 
       Pursuant to the Constitutional provision as to the
President's compensation Congress has from time to time
enacted statutes fixing the amount of such compensation.
The most recent statute (January 25, 1948) c. 644, Section
1, 62 Stat. 672; 3 U. S. C. A. Section 102 provides:
 
"The President shall receive in full for his services during
the term for which he shall have been elected the sum of
$75,000 a year, to be paid monthly, and shall be entitled
to the use of the furniture and other effects belonging to
the United States and kept in the Executive Mansion."
 
Here again no attempt at apportionment of that compensa-
