There’s no chance that means what the libtard says it means. Waiving the right to participate in elections wouldn’t be Constitutional nor enforcesble.

If he wanted, those two lawyers could delay any action for the next 8 years.

The lease isn’t with Trump personally... he can divest to his family trust on Jan. 19.

The now Trump Hotel was also a largely failed tourist Pavillion and office build, a US Post Office, and unknown to NPR and most of the world, once the DC office of the FBI.

How do I know? The “Shadow knows” a lot. It was very spacious inside and full of files. The photos of two slain FBI agents greeted everyone who entered to remind them of the cost of defending America from enemies, domestic and foreign. Something NPR and this professor would never tell you even if they knew it.

Yes the lease holder is Trump Old Post Office LLC. The clause seems to say no one can be added later that is an elected official. It doesn’t say anything about someone becoming an elected official. However, Trump can just divest himself of any ownership in the LLC. He may in fact have no ownership, given his very early thoughts about running for President.

“find two lawyers who say that say he can.”

Then call it settled law.

Well, he’s actually effin wrong.

The exclusions are the President and V.P.

Besides, if he steps down from Trump Enterprises the point becomes moot.

Yep - he may take political flak - which is gonna happen anyway - but there's nothing illegal about it.

This guy is a law professor like Obama was a Constitutional professor...

Everyone is going to try to nail this guy on the emollient clause but, he’ll get it taken care of before 1-20-16

Yep - too many who watched Trump do his thing all the way to victory seem to ignore the bullet he helped us dodge and all of a sudden worry he’s really a naif.
