The emolument clause only prevents the President from being under the financial influence of a foreign state.
It says nothing about running a private business.
Both the Left and NeverTrumpers are grasping at air in their bid to derail Trump.
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State. ARTICLE I, SECTION 9, CLAUSE 8
So when Barack Obama files a tax return that shows income from outside sources, it is OK, but if Donald Trump did it, it is not OK?
George Washington had all kinds of businesses on the side during his administration.
After he and fellow guest Jan Baran agreed that there isn’t an actual law that prevents Trump from being involved in his businesses while in the White House but that it does present numerous ethical issues, Painter said that he informed Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway of concerns around the emolument clause."
So which time is he lying?
I am tired of this Bull Dung!
They never saw any problem with Hillary and her gross mishandling of classified data. A clear felony. But they would have allowed her to waltz into the oval office without a murmur.
All of a sudden the left has discovered ethics.
I am sure Trump will do what is required to ensure dual agency issues are handled properly.
Short of selling every bit of his holdings the left will never be satisfied.
Weird how the left bandies about this Constitution thingy when they're cornered like rats.
All of a sudden, that pesky old and “outdated” Constitution is important. I wish the Commies would make up their minds.
lose = not win
Loose = not tight
Clintons used their name to enrich the self 250 million times over.
The one going in had a world renouned name and business already. He takes a 250 million dollar business hit every year sacrificing their time as President.
They are going to have a tough time trying to make anyone believe any of their position. The traditional 15% of lefties will push this along with the Bushies.
Nor do they know the word ‘lose’, either.
“it does present numerous ethical issues”
And Hillary would not have presented all kinds of ethical issues.
Obama was an example of ethics on display.
I knew these dimwads were suddenly going to be all concerned about the rule of law and the USC once Trump is President.
The do have the word “loose” but not the word “lose” in their lexicon.
This is just like the primaries. They were so worried that Trump would run as 3rd party if he lost primary that they made him make an agreement which NeverTrumper establishments jerks broke.
Now the General election. They tried to pull the same crap. How many days did the media and democrat and GOPe spew about Trump having to respect the outcome of the election.
I’m more for Trump than ever.
You are correct. The attempts at brainwashing by the establishment media are becoming brazen.
Excuse me, but I think maybe the COUNSEL had best think back to Jeb being Gov. of Fla. when the hi jackers came in America...and then they need to think about Saudi who they are in bed with that fly into our buildings and PA....and then they need to think about their drug smuggling with another FORMER POTUS in Arkansas...and then there was the questions of what GHWB was doing in Dallas the day that JFK was shot...and what ties did they have in New Orleans???
Yeah I would think the COUNSEL should shut their mouths, their closets are full of bones!!!
Don’t want to hear from the Clintons and Bushes, or anyone associated with them, ever again.
