C10-4

  Supreme Court litigators and many White House ethics lawyers plan to file a lawsuit against President Trump with allegations of him violating the Constitution. This has most recently come up for debate rather or not Trump is in fact violating the Constitution by allowing his hotel and others of his businesses to accept payment from foreign governments. The President is never intended to accept any money from other major foreign governments because of the fears of the framers that the President would be corrupted by payments or gifts. Many other allegations have been made toward Trump's actions by many major liberal advocacy groups. This suit will cause New York to order Trump to stop accepting these payments. One way to get around or avoid this situation to be viewed as constitutional is to put the hotel under someone else's name. There are many examples of "loose construction" in this suit as Trump's lawyers have argued that there is no constitutional provision that applies to fair-market payments. The technicalities on rather this issue is constitutional or unconstitutional will determine how this suit proceeds.
