    Lot of Saudi/Emirati money has gone to Trump and Kushner private business interests. Corruption a big part of this story. Post-Trump reforms must require presidents to divest and reveal tax returns. Think that's unfair? If you care more about personal profit, don't run for POTUS

        All of those are unconstitutional, but go for them anyway, I guess.

        Dang. Under which clause(s)? (This isn’t my area). Norms clearly don’t work on their own, but I doubt any amendment could happen. So is it just something we have to live with? Basically an emoluments loophole?

        Requiring tax returns falls afoul of the Eligibility Clause. Divesting might fly under emoluments, but it would have to be litigated.

        Thanks. There shouldn’t be a way for foreign governments to funnel money to the private interests of a president or other top exec branch officials, whether business, charity, etc. Not sure how to make it happen, but it doesn’t strike me as a controversial position. Maybe it is.

        I don't think it's controversial or non-controversial. No one has thought about it before now. The Emoluments Clause was like the Third Amendment until Trump came along.

        The arms deal was mostly set before Trump took office, and they touted a promise rather than actual value of contracts. I haven’t seen evidence of kickbacks for Kushner or other public officials for Saudi arm sales. I’m thinking of loans, investments, and spending at properties.

        Personal corruption has been a big part of trump forever. Now it’s a national disgrace.
