About that $230m that Trump claims he should get--even if he actually deserves it (which he doesn't), he can't get it until after he leaves office. At least if the original text of the Constitution means anything. Article 2 Section 1 Clause 7 Compensation and Emoluments The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which *shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States*, or any of them. constitution.congress.gov
