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?

"no person holding any office of profit or trust under them" - wait, so shitlibs are saying that this means that no government employee may have any business interests at all?

The Tribe white paper on this gets to that hard question and has no backup for Tribe's conclusion so he just says "the better view" or "the best view" or something like that. He's a hack and this is a hack argument.

"present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever ..."

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.

they did an end run around this by changing her job at State to some sort of phony "consultant" arrangement
