Abstract
The Special Investigations Division of the House Committee on Government Reform examined the taxpayer costs associated with the President and Vice President's participation in campaign events, focusing on the 2002 election cycle. The report reveals that during this period, the President and Vice President engaged in at least 83 campaign-related trips, with an estimated flight expense of $6.5 million. Political campaigns reimbursed only around $198,000, leaving the taxpayer to cover approximately 97% of the flight expenses.
