大家好,上週跟大家分享蔡英文總統八年執政的人民滿意度,昨天是台灣的5月20號,也是新任總統賴清德正式上任的日子,所以今天想跟大家分享中華民國(台灣)總統的權力和福利,在台灣,總統是全年無休的,他的薪水有多少呢?
總統、副總統年薪有多少?
中華民國(台灣)總統的月薪大約是台幣50萬,因為總統是公務人員,有1.5個月的年終獎金,所以年薪大約是台幣642萬,差不多是美金20萬,而副總統的月薪是台幣34萬元,年薪則大約是台幣496萬元,差不多是美金15萬元。
總統、副總統有什麼權力?
總統是國家元首,根據《憲法》規定,有公布法律、發布命令、任免官員的權力,他同時也是陸海空軍的統帥。總統平常會出席許多政府和民間單位的活動,也會接見許多各國外賓,或是出訪邦交國。而副總統是國家的備位元首,也就是除非總統死了,沒有總統,不然基本上是沒有實質權力的。但是副總統並不是真的什麼事情都不做,通常總統會指派副總統一些重要的任務,例如蔡英文第一個任期的副總統陳建仁就是負責年金改革。
總統的年假有幾天?
相較於許多國家的總統有休假的制度,台灣的總統是沒有法定休假日,也就是他們是全年無休,每一天都要工作,而台灣政府機關的休假日在2024年是115天,總統真的是很辛苦的工作!
總統住在哪裡?在哪裡辦公?
從1988年開始,每一位總統都住在台北市中正區的總統官邸,也叫總統寓所,雖然是同樣的地方,但每一位總統都取了不同的名字,例如新任的賴清德總統就叫「萬里寓所」,因為他的家鄉在新北市的萬里。而總統辦公的地方就在總統府.台灣目前的總統府是日治時期留下來的建築,已經有105年的歷史,並且開放民眾參觀。

Hello everyone, last week I shared with you the public satisfaction with President Tsai Ing-wen's eight years in office. Yesterday was May 20th in Taiwan, the day when the new president, Lai Ching-te, officially took office. So today, I'd like to talk to you about the powers and benefits of the President of the Republic of China (Taiwan). In Taiwan, the president works year-round without breaks. How much is their salary?
What is the annual salary of the President and Vice President?
The President of the Republic of China (Taiwan) earns approximately NT$500,000 per month. As a government official, they receive a year-end bonus equivalent to 1.5 months' salary, making their annual salary around NT$6.42 million, roughly US$200,000. The Vice President earns NT$340,000 per month, with an annual salary of approximately NT$4.96 million, roughly US$150,000.
What powers do the President and Vice President have?
The President is the head of state and, according to the Constitution, holds the power to enact laws, issue orders, and appoint or dismiss officials. They also serve as the commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force. The President usually attends various governmental and non-governmental events, meets with foreign dignitaries, and may undertake official visits to allied countries. The Vice President serves as the standby head of state. They generally do not wield substantive power unless the President is incapacitated or absent. However, the Vice President is not entirely idle. The President typically assigns them important tasks, such as what Vice President Chen Chien-jen did during Tsai Ing-wen's first term, overseeing pension reform.
How much annual leave does the President have?
Unlike in many countries where presidents have vacation entitlements, Taiwan's President does not have statutory holidays; they work year-round, every day. In 2024, Taiwan's government officials have 115 days of holidays, making the President's job quite demanding!
Where does the President reside? And where do they work?
Since 1988, every President has lived in the Presidential Office Building in Zhongzheng District, Taipei City, commonly known as the Presidential Residence. Although it's the same location, each President gives it a different name. For instance, the newly inaugurated President Lai Ching-te calls it the "Wanli Residence" because his hometown is Wanli District in New Taipei City. The President's office is also located in the Presidential Office Building. Taiwan's current Presidential Office Building was constructed during the Japanese colonial period, has a history of 105 years, and is open to the public for visits.
