BACKGROUND:
#TrumpIsAGrifter
The emoluments clause is clear and sweeping:
“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 1, section 9, US Constitution.
Trump has crossed a red line and is now racking up impeachable offenses in public, loud and proud. Even Fox New’s legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano agrees. He called this “the most profound violation” as “one could create.” Congress must stop him.
