I just introduced legislation to help stop the President's ongoing violations of the Constitution's Domestic Emoluments Clause. The #HOTELAct would prohibit gov't agencies from using taxpayer $ to stay/dine at Trump-owned hotels, restaurants or other properties.
Unlike previous Presidents, Donald Trump has refused to divest himself of his biz holdings & instead retained his ownership interest in Trump Org, a decision presenting constant ethical problems & potential constitutional violations.
The Constitution prevents the President from receiving any emolument (any profit, benefit, gift, payment) other than his salary while in office, but Trump continues to receive profits from his properties, incl. taxpayer $ paid by fed gov't agencies patronizing Trump businesses.
I'm completely in agreement that what you're saying is good policy, but I don't understand how you read this from the emolument clause? What happened to "from any King, Prince, or foreign State."?
