Gold Codes
Gold Codes are in fact the Nuclear Launch Codes and yes, the President has these with him at all times. These cards are printed on a plastic card that is known as ‘The Biscuit’ for whatever reason. The President is the ONLY person who can authorize the use of the gold codes. If the President is harmed somehow and cannot carry out the order then it is the duty of the Vice President to do so. There is also a device that follows the President which allows him to address the nation if an emergency breaks out.

Perks
So the President makes an annual salary of about $400,000, has a huge staff for his every need, and gets to live in a huge and amazing house. The President also gets additional funds which amount up to a million a year. After a President retires, they get about $200,000 a year plus an additional $100,000 a year for staff. They also have a lifetime of secret service protection and additional travel expenses. Not bad, eh?
