I keep hoping for sanity to prevail but our courts have become a means of political destruction.
When I saw the headline I thought it said condiments,”gonna fight Trump over the lack of mustard”;)
Isn’t it strange that the only man elected to the presidency as a billionaire is expected to lose money while in office, but every other president leaves with much more wealth than when he began his presidency? Exhibit A: Barack Obama.
When it comes to corrupt things like emoluments, Republicans are pikers compared to democrats.
Democrats are corruption professionals.
Demoncats are evil scum
Time to go to WAR with them and go on OFFENSE
6 ClownBammy "judges"
2 Rapin Bill "judges"
1 Reagan judge
1 Grabby Poppy judge
1 Dubya judge
3 Trump judges
The chief judge was a recess appointment by Rapin Bill as he walked out the door in December 2000, but retained for the appeals court by Dubya. Like Dubya, he's no friend to us conservatives.
Am I wrong in believing that there is nothing in the clause that forbids the president from making any profit while he holds office?
The Trump organization gives all profits arising from foreigners to the Treasury. Just like a gift from a foreign leader is given to the National Archives. No enrichment, no influence of a Billionaire President. No case.
It’s what they did to Sarah Palin. DISGUSTING!
They won’t dare point the finger at anyone else because they’re all in it together.
The most logical sense of the term “emoluments” is that it refers to salary, fee, or profit, which excludes ordinary commercial transactions that do not confer profit on the President even if they provide a separate gain to a family member whom they do not support. Trump’s arrangements effectively cordon him off from any prohibited emoluments through his family businesses.
