EMOLUMENTS 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." ARTICLE I, SECTION 9, CLAUSE 8
There is a strong argument to be made that with his numerous business entanglements worldwide, U.S. President-Elect Donald J. Trump is running afoul of the Emoluments Clause. It is our duty to remain vigilant and ensure that he and other government officials are held accountable.
