Interesting!
I had thought, from what's appeared in the press and TV news, that there's no conflict of interest for a president. Surprising, but that appeared to be the case.
In this piece in The Guardian, it's pointed out that a US president can't take any payment (any "emolument") from outside the US.
That is, any payment to PresidentTrump, via his companies, that came from a foreign source (and he's got hundreds of deals in many countries) would be illegal.
What's he going to do about that? He's got payments coming in all the time, one presumes. The IRS would know....
Who is going to be the first to take him to court over this? Could it lead to impeachment?
