    Exclamation Congress can investigate Emoluments Clause violations and impeach trump

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/11/opini...nig/index.html

    Four parts
    (1) involvement by trump associates in Russian interference in the 2016 election
    (2) trump's role in illegal hush money payments to two women who had affairs with him
    (3) trump's dangling of pardons to immigration officials who might break the law to get a border wall built
    (4) trump's Emoluments Clause violations and use of the presidency for personal profit

    I do hope the nut**bag party chooses to investigate, impeach, and otherwise hound trump right up until election day.

    Such a great strategy to show the voters you are ready to move the country forward, keep the economy running full speed like it is , help fix the immigration problem, the trade deficit, North Korea, Iran etc.
    And while you're at it remind us how the ice caps are melting and killing jobs is the only way to address it

    It's at the core of who you are.

    It's what the constitution and sworn congressional oaths demand and require.

    It's nothing a whore like you would understand.

    Maybe they can take it out of his $400,000 salary. Oh wait, he's never taken one.

These reports raised concerns taxpayers are helping to enrich the Trump family through improper military spending."

    the foreign emoluments clause of Article I, Section 9, which bars officeholders from receiving anything of value from foreign states without congressional consent; the Constitution contains two separate emoluments clauses, each with a uniquely important role. trump has long been impermissibly accepting payments from foreign governments (even recently lobbying to host the next G-7 at his faltering Doral, Florida, resort) in contravention of the foreign emoluments clause. The military’s Turnberry entwinement and Vice President mike mence’s 181-mile commute to stay at trump Doonbeg violate a distinct constitutional provision: the domestic emoluments clause of Article II, Section 1, which prevents presidents from receiving payments from federal or state accounts, save their congressionally predetermined salary.

    LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
