The Emoluments Clause says: No title of nobility shall be granted by the United
Poast new message in this thread
Date: December 23rd, 2016 9:59 AM Author: Floppy codepig skinny woman 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.
It was intended to forbid foreign states from compromising our our executive office holders. I don't see where it says an exec office holder cannot have business enterprises in foreign countries.
There has been extremely little judicial development of it either. Really only OLC opinions on it exist, and those are binding on no one.
People who say trump will be violating the constitution - what exactly is the argument for that? |

it's obvious that ordinary business interests isn't what this clause was getting at. George Washington was an active businessman and entrepreneur throughout his presidency. |
