Emoluments clause

Article 1 section 9–Foreign Emoluments Clause. It prohibits any federal officials from accepting gifts or money from foreign states without approval from Congress. It prevents any president from receiving benefits beyond their salary from the U.S. or state.

Domestic Emoluments Clause mandates that any President receive a fixed salary that cannot be increased or decreased during their term, and prohibits the President from receiving any other emolument” from the United States. The emoluments clauses serve as essential long-standing anti-corruption rules in the U.S. Constitution, ensuring officials loyalties` remain with the United States.

Well. Trump and his family have made more than 4 billion dollars during Trump’s first year of this presidency. He was gifted a 747 airplane which will require updates to increase its cost to be over a billion dollars andjhe will keep it when he leaves the white house. He pardons crooks as long as they have the money to pay him. He sues tv companies and they pay up. Reread the emoluments clause and you can see his loyalty is not to the nation; it is to himself. He is using the Presidency tp enrich himself at the expense of the taxpayers. His administration is the most corrupt one that we have ever had and he has still 3 more years to go. What to do? Vote every Republican out and impeach Trump again.
