Good news, comrade. The House can impeach while the states sue. D.C. And Maryland’s Emoluments Lawsuit Against Trump Gets A Second Chance At Life ...Racine and Frosh accuse the president of violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution, which holds that no public official “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.” Before Trump took office, that clause was little-discussed, and no court has definitively outlined the meaning of the word “emolument.” In their original suit, Racine and Frosh hold that a bevy of foreign leaders are spending money at Trump’s businesses—including the Trump International Hotel here in D.C.—in order to influence the president’s foreign policy decisions. Trump has declined to divest from his business interests as president. That, they said, constituted an emolument, which they defined as any “profit,” “gain,” or “advantage.” dcist.com
