The Text and Original Meaning of the Emoluments Clause
Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution provides as follows: “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.” Generally referred to as the Emoluments Clause, this provision cannot be understood apart from the historical experiences and political principles that led the Framers to support it.
We have firm evidence that the various business interests and foreign entanglements of President-Elect Donald Trump stand in direct opposition to this Constitutional clause. These are grounds for Impeachment
