I can actually see an argument for a strengthening of the Emoluments


Clause. Maybe Obama, and Clinton, and Bush (and Cheney, even though he wasn't Pres) may have benefited more than they should have from their office.

I think the key is whether it causes decisions to be altered from the very best decisions for the country. I haven't seen an indication that Obama changed government policy to benefit himself, but if so, then let's look at that.

At the same time, let's look at Trump. There is a ton of smoke there, from day 1, starting with the GOP platform and going on from there.
