DO SOMETHING! Trump is Violating the Foreign Emoluments Clause

To: Sen. Schiff, Rep. Mullin, Sen. Padilla

From: A constituent in San Carlos, CA

May 14

The acceptance of a private jet from Qatar would be a clear violation of the foreign emoluments clause in the US Constitution. This clause explicitly prohibits government officials from accepting gifts or benefits from foreign states without congressional consent. Such an action undermines principles of accountability and risks compromising the nation's interests for personal gain. As representatives, it is imperative to uphold ethical standards and reject any offers that could constitute a conflict of interest or corrupt influence. Defending the Constitution's safeguards against foreign interference must be a top priority in preserving democratic integrity.
