        Then they were crooks! What's your point? The emoluments clause s/be fully enforced NOW---whether or not it was enforced in the past.

        So because founding fathers accepted art we should ignore that our current president is in position to be bribed by foriegn/domestic entity?

        I believe that many Constitutional Law experts at much more prestigious schools disagree. I look forward to the WSJ publishing those op-eds

        Your point? The founders were crooks and slave owners and maybe we shouldn't worship a few dead rich guys

        This is the best you can do? Ignore what Obama was held to and instead go back 200+ years? That's some weak legal sauce, counselor.

        Also, the president is not "under" the U.S.? That seems less clearly stated than you assert.
