Trump has said he will not divest ownership of his business while President. There is concern among top legal minds in the US that when Trump swears the Oath of Office, he will stand in violation of the Constitution’s foreign-emoluments clause. Article I, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution forbids any “Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States]” from accepting any “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State” (unless Congress explicitly consents).

By “emolument,” this provision means any benefit derived from dealing with a foreign government. It is well-settled that receipt of such emoluments is strictly prohibited for persons holding positions of trust with the U.S. government. A U.S. official need not also have an “office” with a foreign government in order to receive an emolument from it.

The Framers included this provision in the Constitution to guarantee that private entanglements with foreign states would not blur the loyalties of federal officials, above all the president. Yet that lesson seems lost on Trump, whose continued significant ownership stake in the Trump Organization forges an unbreakable bond between Trump and a global empire that will benefit or suffer in innumerable ways from its dealings with foreign governments. Trump’s actions in office will thus be haunted by the specter (and perhaps reality) of divided interests.

The only adequate solution to this and other conflicts of interest, taken by presidents of both parties for the past four decades, is divestiture into a truly blind trust or the equivalent.

At last week’s unusual press conference, Trump—lawyer in tow—refused to take those steps. Instead, after marveling at his own generosity, Trump finally explained his big plan: keep an ownership stake in the Trump Organization, but resign from management and have his adult sons (joined by an executive) run the business during his presidency.

Trump’s lawyer has said that “Trump wants there to be no doubt in the minds of the American public that he is completely isolating himself from his business interests.” But if that were actually true, Trump would have done more—much more—to separate himself from his global business empire. Instead, he adopted the mere shell of a plan, utterly inadequate to the demands of the Constitution.

Interesting you brought this up. 

The Washington Post covered this subject -- except with regard to Clinton -- back in September.  Here is the article, should you care to read it.

The Volokh Conspiracy -- Opinion
Is the Emoluments Clause a problem for Hillary Clinton?
By Jonathan H. Adler September 23, 2016
You may not have heard of the Emoluments Clause, but some people think it raises a problem for Hillary Clinton. The clause, contained in Article I, section 9, reads as follows:

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.

The issue is whether the Clinton Foundation’s acceptance of gifts from foreign governments while Hillary Clinton served as secretary as state violated this provision (assuming, of course, that gifts to the Foundation were, in some sense, also gifts to her). Additionally, it would seem, there would also be a question as to whether the Clinton Foundation could accept such gifts if Hillary Clinton is elected president.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think this question is justiciable. That is, I do not believe that someone could go to court to seek to disqualify or sanction Clinton. The issue might, however, be of interest to some voters (and by “some” I mean some percentage of lawyers, professors and pedants who have actually thought about the Emoluments Clause and its significance). One could conclude that Clinton violated the spirit of the clause even if one does not believe courts can (or should) do anything about it. (And one could also reach this conclusion and still believe that such an ethical lapse is still minor compared with the offenses committed by Donald Trump.)

The meaning and current application of the Emoluments Clause might not seem like much of an issue to you, but it is to two of my colleagues, Jonathan Entin and Erik Jensen. The two have dueling op-eds on the clause in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Here’s Jensen:

you can’t take politics out of politics — but payments from foreign governments to federal officials are different from the usual sorts of contributions. Those who are supposed to be looking out for the best interests of the United States shouldn’t be taking goodies from other governments, a potentially corrupting influence that creates the appearance of divided loyalties.

America’s founders understood this. In the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, adapted from a similar provision in the Articles of Confederation, the founders provided that “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States] shall, without the Consent of Congress, accept of [sic] any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

A present — or, even worse, compensation for services (an emolument) — transferred by a foreign government to a federal official isn’t everyday pay for play; it’s forbidden, unless Congress approves. . . .

What about gifts from foreign governments made to a foundation in which a person holding an office of trust — a secretary of state, say — has a controlling position, either directly or through family members? That sort of thing happened not so long ago. Whether or not the practice could have survived review by lawyers in green eyeshades, I’m not sure. But the practice smelled; it violated the spirit, if not the language, of the Foreign Emoluments Clause and related statutes. It was, at a minimum, an ethical lapse.

Here’s Entin:

If you haven’t heard that Hillary Clinton is constitutionally ineligible to be president, be ready.

That claim has nothing to do with her birth certificate but rather with contributions to the Clinton Foundation by foreign governments.

According to conservative bloggers, those contributions violate the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution (Article I, Section 9), which generally forbids American officials from accepting “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title” from another nation. Because the foundation accepted payments from foreign governments while she held government positions, Clinton supposedly violated the Emoluments Clause and is disqualified from serving as our chief executive.

This is a dubious argument.

If, after reading these op-eds, you want still more on the Emoluments Clause, the National Constitution Center has posted additional background and an exchange between Professors Seth Tillman and Zephyr Teachout as part of the Center’s Interactive Constitution.

He has an even bigger problem if the Cabinet simply vote to replace him (Sect 25). If Trump is deemed unsuitable, they could remove him.

More in the way of being homoerotic.

Could President Trump be impeached?

Yes, but it is pretty unlikely.

No president has ever actually been removed from office as a result of impeachment, although two — Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton — were found guilty of wrongdoing by the House of Representatives, before being cleared by the Senate, and in 1974 President Richard Nixon resigned rather than facing an impeachment process for several charges related to the Watergate scandal.

A major obstacle to impeaching Mr Trump is that both the House of Representatives and the Senate are controlled by the Republicans. Lots of people have speculated that Mr Trump's own party are unlikely to impeach him, unless of course they are put under a huge amount of public pressure.

But, then again, it is not impossible: many Republicans actually do not like the president-elect at all.


by the sound of that... if he was impeached it isnt what he may have done... but who likes or dislikes him..

:( :( :( :(

mmmmmmmmm very democratic..


fancy being impeached over gross sex in his office errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrk..

only in America

If push comes to shove, the Strongly Republican Congress Majority will most probably simply "Rubber Stamp" their approvals & consents if needed, & as such has been rumored to already have become secured ..... a 'done deal' so to speak.  ;)

Oh, & JFYI here is the actual wording of Article 1 Section 9 of the United States Constitution.....nothing out of context:


Quote:

Article 1  Section 9. The migration or importation of such persons as any of the states now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each person. The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it. No bill of attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed. No capitation, or other direct, tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken. No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state. No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one state over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one state, be obliged to enter, clear or pay duties in another. No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time. 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.

   

The actual wording sounds a little different don't it ......

.......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. ;)

I see him as an inspirational figure.
i wouldnt say "feminine" but i do recognise him as a "superior man".
Trump has achieved soooo much.
Do you "get" how talented someone would need to be to take on the establishment and the media who both despised him and then just bust thru that wall like a sherman tank  .
I am in awe of such a man.

He has a huge international fan base.


i think its funny when people who are very insignificant, hate on "the successful guy".
Some of the friends of my duaghters were hating on Justin Beiber and they got this lecture as well.
Ive never even heard a Bieber song but thats not the point.

When you see someone who is crushing it, you aspire to study them and copy them.  If you hate them, you are not going to go into growth and it is your ego that is making you hate them because your ego realises that they DID it and you DIDNT and your ego wants to get off the hook for you being a punk ass bitch of a pussy and the only way is to hate success.

hatred of success always reveals a very deep character flaw...always.
if you hate success, your life is going nowhere and you are going to end up a piece of garbage.
love admire and copy success.
always
always
always  ;) ;) ;)

We're well past that conclusion, Panther. We're now onto the question of whether Justin Beiber's success justifies his awful music.

By extension, we could ask whether Donald Trump's popular election justifies his awful policies as president. You will only be able to use this excuse for a short while. When we start to see the backdowns, the kickbacks, the conflicts of interest, the rising debt and all the bullsh!t excuses, the fact that Trump was elected will be meaningless.

Trump is there for the billionaires. You can't hide this fact or pretend it's fake news. Trump's appointments already make this clear. His policies will be on display for all to see.

George W Bush campaigned as a "compassionate conservative". When he got in, he proved to be a neoconservative. As time went on, Bush's neoconservative policies proved to be a massive failure. No one could deny it. The lies, the death toll from his foreign wars, the mounting deficit, the billions poured into Bush's friends' businesses, and finally, the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression proved it. Bush was a failure. His agenda was a failure. He proved that he was never a compassionate conservative, whatever this was.

Trump has steered clear of these sorts of definitions, but his statements speak for themselves. Trump promises to make America great again. When he does the exact opposite - the trade wars with China, the price increases, the tax cuts for the rich, the cuts to the minimum wage, the mounting deficit, etc, etc, etc - you won't have any excuses left.

Remember, not even the rusted-ons were defending Bush at the end of his second term. When Trump's time comes, the best you'll be able to do is pretend you never supported Trump in the first place.

Ask that question when it actually becomes material, like a year AFTER Trump actually becomes President, & AFTER his policies have taken effect.

To date, it's just your wild imagination that guides your mind to conclude the fictions it does.

Trump hasn't taken office yet, so all you have is unfounded speculation, not one speck of implemented policy......  http://www.33sm.ml/smileys/HeadSlap.gif

IM glad you got that right. I was beginning to think all Trump supporters were actually PRO-dictatorship rather than simply supporting a potential candidate for the job.

I genuinely think Trump is pro constitution, pro just the parts that politically convenient.

Clinton was an excellent president and very popular. The people didnt think highly of those trying to impeach him on a personal matter. And then they voted for a boofhead like Trump who will molest anything in a skirt that enters the white house or surrounds.

Slick Willy just had, & still has, the same affliction that his crusty-crotched, skank wife has, he never told the truth....he always lied like a rug.....& it was the reason he was impeached....for lying under oath to Congress & obstructing justice.....but he remained in office solely because 45 dEMOCRAT Senators acquitted him with the help of 10 Republicans. In order to Impeach they still would have had to gather a super majority (67 votes) instead of the 51 vote simple majority.

If lying is so important to you then get ready for Trumps impeachment on the same offence coming in about 6 weeks time.

Since he is still. president-ELECT he cannot have 'lied in office'... yet. It was rather obvious that it was a prediction - or at least it was to intelligent readers.

at the moment I am quite happy with the way Trump speaks...he hasnt been programmed from being in some kind of glorified office for 30 odd years...

he is more honest more saying what he feels not what hes been programmed to say...like Hills... didnt stumble once...

I dont know about anyone else but I am hopin g hes a breath of fresh air...I am going to give him a chance at any rate and hope he comes through....

if not he wont last long.....but that goes the same with every new leader.....

who knows he might turn out to be a great leader maybe thats what they are frightened of??>..

"frightened" ?

What concerns most people is the fact that he doesn't pay tax, doesn't pay contractors, sexually assaults women, lies every time he opens his mouth, and is accused of raping, beating, and threatening to kill children.

Yeah, I suppose women and children have a good reason to be frightened.

What concerns most people is the fact that he doesn't pay tax, doesn't pay contractors, sexually assaults women, lies every time he opens his mouth, and is accused of raping, beating, and threatening to kill children. Yeah, I suppose women and children have a good reason to be frightened.

If this guy was a lefty Cods would be screeching till the cows come home.

More accurately sexually harassed women, though harassment can be considered abuse.

Didn't pay taxes for over 18 years, said it was because he was smart.

Has been taken to court numerous times for failing to pay contractors, most of which were settled out of court.

Crooked and corrupt... jury still out on that.

Mocked a disabled journalist on live television.

Would Trump be President if he said and did all the things on the campaign trail but was running as a Democrat?

Thanks for the laugh. http://www.33sm.ml/smileys/lol015.gif Since he is still. president-ELECT he cannot have 'lied in office'... yet. It was rather obvious that it was a prediction - or at least it was to intelligent readers.

Check American History......the Last President sworn under oath was Bill Clinton. How many decades do you have to go back to the previous President to be sworn under oath for Congressional Testimony???

I don't even think Nixon was?

And JFYI.....Nixon Wasn't Impeached.

Being that the House of Representatives, & the United States Senate are both securely in Republican hands, President Trump is even less likely to be sworn in for any testimony whatsoever.....History mate.......History. http://www.33sm.ml/smileys/exitstageright.gif

JFYI.....Trump can lie up a storm in office if it ever occurred to him, but unless he's under sworn oath to Congress, there's no law offense whatsoever.  ;)
