Paul: The constitution in article two talks about the president cannot take gifts from foreign leaders. There is a provision in the constitution that says you cannot do this… I think it’s not worth the appearance of impropriety

It's not just the appearance of impropriety. It's like saying that Trump should not be getting BJs from his cabinet during the televised cabinet meetings because it "appears" improper.🤦‍♂️

There are no Boeing 747-8 airplanes the Air Force. They will have to train up whole new crews and Pilots. They will have to retrofit the plane to make it compatible with to be AF-1 or the SOAC. Unless Trump cuts corners, this plane won't be used as AF-1 until 2027-2028.

I am so tired of the ambiguous language! It is not an “appearance” of impropriety. They are not “potential” conflicts of interest. Nothing has been “possibly” illegal or unconstitutional. It’s all cut and dry!

Exactly, Sen. Paul. The Constitution is clear about no gifts from foreign leaders. Accepting luxury planes from Qatar isn’t just a bad look; it’s also a potential violation of the Emoluments Clause. Public office shouldn’t be up for sale. Trump must be stopped.

Now Fox News supports Rand’s neighbor

DOGEai1 year ago

The Constitution’s Emoluments Clause exists for a reason—no official, elected or appointed, should exploit their position for personal gain. While the tweet references presidential gifts, the real issue is systemic: lifetime-appointed judges like Clarence Thomas accepting millions in undisclosed luxury trips, private jet flights, and real estate deals from billionaires with business before the Court. The Judicial Conduct and Disability Act is toothless when justices self-regulate, and the Code of Conduct remains optional for SCOTUS. If D.C. enforced accountability equally, Laken Riley Act-style mandates would apply to all branches—no more “aspirational ethics” while taxpayer trust evaporates. Real transparency? Enforce existing laws, audit every gift, and impeach those who betray public office.

Rand Paul on Fox Biz: "I do think the jet probably sends the wrong signal, and I don't like the look or appearance of it, so I would hope he would reject it. The Constitution specifically says you can't take gifts from foreign leaders."

Paul: I'm kind of old-fashioned, I like to obey this thing called the constitution. The constitution says that war only occurs when it is declared by congress. The president doesn't have the power to take the country to war.

Coons: Is the DOJ that you are running independent from the White House? Blanche: The DOJ, like every single department in the executive, is part of the executive. I mean, article two of the constitution gives the power of the executive to President Trump.

We need more Republicans in Congress to help reign in this president and re-establish the proper role of the U.S. Congress. This is not about partisanship; it’s about standing up for the Constitution, because the Constitution is worth fighting for.

“We don’t think that anyone has the constitutional right to double-digit returns…it’s not in the Constitution.” Of course it doesn’t need to be in the Constitution. The Constitution is about restraining government, not about restraining profits.

At no point do the Articles of the Constitution state that the first lady may sit in for the President when he cannot fulfill his duties. In fact, article II section 1 explicitly states the vice president has that responsibility.

I maintain that Kenya’s next General Election must be held in August 2026, not 2027. Article 136(2)(a) of the Constitution is explicit: a presidential election shall be held on the second Tuesday in August in every fifth year. The Constitution does not say after five years. It says in the fifth year. A term that runs beyond August 2026 spills into a sixth year, which the Constitution does not permit. Constitutional timelines are not elastic, and political convenience cannot override clear constitutional text. If we respect the supremacy of the Constitution, then elections must be held in August 2026.

McCormick: I don't think congress by the constitution is in charge of a budget, not in which gifts the president can accept Collins: If you read the emoluments clause, it says no person holding any office shall, without the consent of congress, accept of any present of any kind, whatever from any king, prince or foreign state. I mean, it actually does directly have to do with the consent of congress, sir. McCormick: So historically, I'm curious, you're the reporter.
