Politics

Can anyone answer this question please?...
Which political position had the same salary for120 years with 18 incumbents?
Thanks

if poet laureate is a political position (and it originally amounted to being hired to write lyrics praising the king), the pay was a butt of sherry from about 1670-1790; but there were far fewer than 18 of them, so this may not be the answer

It's probably someone who got something like a shilling for an occasional duty.

How about Black Rod?

Thanks for the two answers so far......great ideas, but there have been many more black rods and the poet laureate seems to be paid a varying amount. Thanks for the interest tho!

How about Earl Marshal ?

Thanks to everyone for their help....apparently the answer is the first 18 US presidents were each paid a salary of $25000.
Answer from the quiz master.....hmmmmmmm!!!
