The purpose of the Emoluments Clause is to prevent foreign governments from buying influence in the U.S. by paying off U.S. government officials. Here’s the text of the clause:

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.

That’s in the US Constitution. Just like some Amendments, which have been changed by Congress and agencies without proper authority. The adjustment of the law as recorded in the federal register is illegal on its face. The modification simply allows government officials to be bribed. Our Constitutional protections have all been disbanded by men seeking power and riches. I certainly wish Trump had rejected these, in order to uphold that Constitution.
