Barack Obama has consistently advocated for workers' rights and fair pay. In 2014, he signed a memorandum directing the Department of Labor to update regulations regarding overtime pay, which could suggest he would support this measure. However, the specific salary cap of $46k/year was not a part of his policy, hence the score is not a full 5.
