The clause in question reads as follows: "No member or delegate to Congress, or elected official of the Government of the United States or the Government of the District of Columbia, shall be admitted to any share or part of this Lease or to any benefit that may arise therefrom."
It's standard boilerplate language and is included in every GSA lease.
Happy?
I wonder how that clause affects the lease of Hetch Hetchy to San Francisco for $30k a year...
It wouldn't since the San Francisco is not a member of Congress or elected official in the government of the United States or the District of Columbia.
Trump was not an elected when the lease was enacted. How do you justify retroactively changing a contract? Pretty sure a smart lawyer, of which Trump has many, can point out the legal absurdity of this argument.
In a word, NO.
You kinda sorta forgot to finish the paragraph where it defines who is exempt from that provision.
Nice try, though.
How is the White House basement these days, anyway?
Isn't that where Obama's personal fact-free propaganda website operates from these days?
