Salon – In a discussion with “Young Turks” reporter Eric Byler at the Bowie State University health care rally this weekend, newly elected Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, revealed that one of his first orders of business will be impeaching the president-elect.
“Right now it looks pretty obvious that he’s on a collision course with the Emoluments Clause,” he noted. “He has refused to divest himself of tens or hundreds of millions of dollars of business interests he has around the world doing business with foreign governments.”
As Raskin rightly observes, the Emoluments Clause is designed to inoculate the executive office from corrupting foreign influences.
