Anyway.

And Article Two then goes on to talk about the domestic I know it's a

But so many things would have to happen for us to have President Pete Hexath and let us not wish for any of those things to happen.

Okay, so then clause seven of Article Two contains the domestic emoluments clause.

Let's go back to this for a second.

The president shall not receive any emolument from the United States or any of them.

And this is uh the plain English of this is the president can't receive any gift from the federal government or any of the state governments.

This is similar to the foreign emoluments clause, which can actually be found in Article One, which says that no person holding any office of profit or trust accept any emolument from any king, prince, or foreign state without the consent of Congress.

Remember that in Trump's first term, a group of lawsuits were filed alleging that Trump had violated both the foreign and the domestic emoluments clauses.

And the basis of their claims was that Trump's continued stake and his business interests had led to some kind of improper influence.

So, for example, if uh a representative of a foreign government was staying at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC.

Maybe we could think of that as an improper gift to the president.

Right.

We never, of course, found out whether they were unconstitutional emoluments because after Trump left office in twenty twenty one, these lawsuits were declared moot, no longer live issues that a federal court could decide.

So we never really got the answer about whether or not these were unconstitutional emoluments.

Yeah, surprisingly uh there haven't been any lawsuits that I'm aware of, but again, we don't know the answer.

Yeah.

Okay.

Now section two of Article Two specifies the powers of the president.
