We are working to hold the President accountable for business deals with foreign governments that may violate the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause, create conflicts of interest, and undermine public trust. Our goal is to ensure any profits from such agreements are returned to the U.S. government to protect the integrity of public office.

The Founders wanted stripes, not ties—foreign deals from a sitting president cloud more than just judgment.

When your 'foreign policy' includes cash registers, the Constitution becomes just a suggestion.
