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?

Maybe you got a cabinet position for.. um idk... Secretary of Agriculture because the president knew you and decided to appoint you for some reason? And then he/she and the VP both got involved in a huge scandal or something and everyone else in the line of succession were fired by the president for snitching on him/her regarding the scandal, then you are now the next in line?

(Don't think too hard, it's a hypothetical 😉)
