Never heard of the foreign-emoluments clause? You’re not alone.
James C. Nelson, retired Justice of the Montana Supreme Court and a member of the Legal Advisory Committee for Free Speech For People, and John, co-founder and president of Free Speech For People, address “why we’re calling for Congress to impeach Donald Trump” in the latest in TIME Magazine.
Ron Fein, Free Speech For People’s Legal Director outlined President Trump’s ongoing violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause in a recent blog posting to the American Constitution Society For Law And Policy’s blog on February 2nd, 2017.
Let us take as given that President Trump has violated, and continues to violate, the Foreign Emoluments Clause. (We can reserve for another time the Domestic Emoluments Clause, as well as any potential violations arising from the executive order on immigration and possible defiance of federal court orders.) The present question is: is this an impeachable offense? The answer is clearly yes.
