Public Citizen Applauds Lawmakers’ Lawsuit to Enforce the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution
Public Citizen supports the lawsuit filed today against President Donald Trump by nearly 200 members of Congress accusing him of violating the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The lawsuit – the third such suit filed – is designed to compel the president to stop violating the important constitutional provision that prohibits government officials from receiving payments from foreign governments without the consent of Congress.
