Court Puts Politics Above Law in State’s Lawsuit Against Trump | The Heritage Foundation:
"The plaintiffs claim that Trump violates the Constitution’s foreign emoluments clause and presidential compensation clause any time anyone who represents any foreign government or state, respectively, confers anything of value to Trump or any part of the Trump Organization business conglomerate.
That gets the purpose of those provisions fundamentally wrong.
The foreign emoluments clause and presidential compensation clause exist to keep certain federal officials from accepting compensation from states, Congress, or foreign nations, in exchange for favorable official treatment."
