[EX Q]: Former U.S. presidents cost taxpayers more than $879,000 per year in pensions, personnel, benefits, travel and office expenses, and Bill Clinton's cumulative near-$16 million total is bringing him new scrutiny as his wife makes the case for a White House run of her own. Daily Mail Online reported Clinton's take in 2014, amounting to slightly less than $1.14 million per year, based on a paper from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service (CRS). That amount is still less than George W. Bush's $1.18 million annual haul. But since Clinton has had an eight-year head start, his overall benefits are the highest by far, totalling $15,938,000 since he left the White House in January 2001.The Former Presdients Act provides pensions and office expenses for Clinton, both Bushes and Jimmy CarterA 2014 Congressional Research Service report described the payments, pegging Clinton's total at $15.9 million, an average of $1.14 million per yearHe has an 8-year head start on George W.

[EX Q]: New York (CNN) -- It was the most vivid, and unexpected, confrontation of Wednesday's State of the Union address. It happened when President Obama said this: "Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests -- including foreign corporations -- to spend without limit in our elections." In the audience, Justice Samuel Alito, President Bush's second appointee to the Supreme Court, could be seen shaking his head and saying, it appeared, "Not true, not true." Who's right? As for what the court decided in Citizens United v. FEC, Obama seems to be right -- mostly. In a 5-4 decision, written by Justice Anthony Kennedy and joined by Alito, the court held that corporations, labor unions and other organizations had the right under the First Amendment to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence the outcomes of elections.Jeffrey Toobin says a comment by President Obama led to an awkward momentHe says Justice Samuel Alito seemed to disagree on Obama's take on campaign finance rulingToobin says Obama was mostly right on the result of recent court decisionHe says Alito also was right to express his view; justices are human beings

[EX Q]: Washington (CNN) -- Eight weeks after the massacre of 20 Connecticut first-graders, a ban on the kind of semi-automatic rifle used by the killer remains elusive -- if not impossible. Such a ban became a rallying cry for victims' families, advocacy groups and politicians supporting tougher gun laws in the emotional aftermath of the Newtown shootings in December. President Barack Obama still calls for updating a 1994 assault weapons ban that expired 10 years later as part of his package of steps intended to reduce chronic gun violence in America, especially in major cities. However, fierce opposition by the powerful National Rifle Association and millions of American gun owners has shifted debate away from prohibiting specific weapons to making it harder for criminals, terrorists and the mentally ill to obtain guns.NEW: President Obama will honor the six educators killed in the Newtown shootingObama includes a partial weapons ban in his package of gun measuresThe National Rifle Association mounts fierce opposition to any kind of banA policy expert says political reality shifts the debate from a ban to background checks
