Trump Resigns(?)! (Creating More Time To Review And Advise On The Financial Gifts Reporting(?)!)

[mascale]

January 19, 2017, President-Elect Trump did what he said he would do, and resigned from office-holding in 400 or more owned enterprises. No divestiture plan appears to have been proposed or created, so still whatever is owned remains on White House time(?). Apparently the new President has moved in, already. The role of Reviewing, and likely advising, on any financial reporting has not been diminished, as a part of any company office-holding resignation. Four times or more per year, 400 or more reports each time! Anyone would call that a plan(?). . .to question!

Trump resigned from business before taking office, docs say

Now it could even be said, "Putting America Fifth,". . .as in any Constitutional amendments, bottles of Constitutional emoluments(?), or in some new place-holding in the world--and certainly in the esteem levels of the all the new appointees, and confirmed, in the new Administration.

Now anyone asks, "Just who has standing to bring a proper lawsuit?" even before a shooting war breaks out(?)!

Like so many other aspects of it, even famous Dickens character, Micawber, can guess that such is the law!

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Taking more calls than anyone might guess to be reasonable and proper. . .during the regular routines of daily warfare(?). . .against whoever, and whatever(?)! Good Soldier Trump(?), CIC(?). . . .maybe after it's over(?)! Sacrifice does have its time and place, in a Trump Administration(?)!)

Still taking mescaline, I see. One day, you will shock us all and actually make sense.

How many fucking times must we tell you not to snort sterno before posting?

Our Founding Fathers never intended our Presidents be required to give up their businesses to serve. That notion would have seemed so bizarre to them. They didn't want 'Career Politicians.' They wanted folks who were very talented and successful to serve.

They didn't expect successful businessmen to close their businesses in order to serve as Presidents. So all this Democrat outrage over Trump staying involved with some of his businesses, really is over-blown partisanship. No person should be forced to close their business to serve in Government.

The Federalist Papers (herein, 22), in fact sought exactly to curtail foreign influence in a new government, post Articles of Confederation. Foreign influence was held to be anti-Republican. . . . .and even anti-Democrat. . . .anti-Socialist and anti-others: Since influence was already known to be corrosively in examples in history.
________________________________________________
Suppose, for instance, we were engaged in a war, in conjunction with one foreign nation, against another. Suppose the necessity of our situation demanded peace, and the interest or ambition of our ally led him to seek the prosecution of the war, with views that might justify us in making separate terms. In such a state of things, this ally of ours would evidently find it much easier, by his bribes and intrigues, to tie up the hands of government from making peace, where two thirds of all the votes were requisite to that object, than where a simple majority would suffice. In the first case, he would have to corrupt a smaller number; in the last, a greater number. Upon the same principle, it would be much easier for a foreign power with which we were at war to perplex our councils and embarrass our exertions. And, in a commercial view, we may be subjected to similar inconveniences. A nation, with which we might have a treaty of commerce, could with much greater facility prevent our forming a connection with her competitor in trade, though such a connection should be ever so beneficial to ourselves.

Evils of this description ought not to be regarded as imaginary. One of the weak sides of republics, among their numerous advantages, is that they afford too easy an inlet to foreign corruption. An hereditary monarch, though often disposed to sacrifice his subjects to his ambition, has so great a personal interest in the government and in the external glory of the nation, that it is not easy for a foreign power to give him an equivalent for what he would sacrifice by treachery to the state. The world has accordingly been witness to few examples of this species of royal prostitution, though there have been abundant specimens of every other kind.

In republics, persons elevated from the mass of the community, by the suffrages of their fellow-citizens, to stations of great pre-eminence and power, may find compensations for betraying their trust, which, to any but minds animated and guided by superior virtue, may appear to exceed the proportion of interest they have in the common stock, and to overbalance the obligations of duty. Hence it is that history furnishes us with so many mortifying examples of the prevalency of foreign corruption in republican governments. How much this contributed to the ruin of the ancient commonwealths has been already delineated. It is well known that the deputies of the United Provinces have, in various instances, been purchased by the emissaries of the neighboring kingdoms. The Earl of Chesterfield (if my memory serves me right), in a letter to his court, intimates that his success in an important negotiation must depend on his obtaining a major's commission for one of those deputies. And in Sweden the parties were alternately bought by France and England in so barefaced and notorious a manner that it excited universal disgust in the nation, and was a principal cause that the most limited monarch in Europe, in a single day, without tumult, violence, or opposition, became one of the most absolute and uncontrolled.....

In this review of the Confederation, I have confined myself to the exhibition of its most material defects; passing over those imperfections in its details by which even a great part of the power intended to be conferred upon it has been in a great measure rendered abortive. It must be by this time evident to all men of reflection, who can divest themselves of the prepossessions of preconceived opinions, that it is a system so radically vicious and unsound, as to admit not of amendment but by an entire change in its leading features and characters.
_______________________________________________

So the Original actual Constitution had no intention at all of harboring business or other level impacts of foreign corruption, and business ties, as a right embedded in the new U. S. Constitution.

What precedes that part, In Federalist 22, is a discussion of minority and majority rights, now also subject of national attention in the recent elections.

Trump isn't required to give up involvement in his businesses in order to serve as President. Most of our Founding Fathers owned businesses. They wouldn't have even considered closing their businesses in order to serve in Government.

The idea was to serve the country for a bit, and then return to running their businesses full time. They didn't envision folks becoming 'Career Politicians.' So Trump doesn't have to give up his business endeavors to serve as President.

Trump is prohibited from accepting any payments whatsoever, (payments, fees, profits, gratuities, per diem allowances, perks and on and on), to preclude any distraction in foreign affairs. What is good for a hotel in Washington, D. C. may be a disservice in the conduct of policy in Saudi Arabia, or anywhere else, for example. Other nations tend to have factions. Any faction seeking influence will make the payments, offer the fees, pay the rents, or provide the perks: Distracting the office-holder, and the staff, from policy otherwise likely to happen. If all the foreign factions discover that the President is accepting emoluments from all the other factions, they could just agree that it makes better sense to Putin to launch the various nukes--with one aim certain, of a certain hair color and doo(?)!.

That was recognized at the time of the adoption of the U. S. Constitution. The various plantation owners were not required to sell off their enterprises, or their slaves. Accepting a gift of a hundred slaves, however, would have been prohibited at that time--for the President and other office-holders. Everyone else could accept the gift of the 100 slaves at that time.

Famously, the Republicans even took that away from the ordinary, in the USA. Now the ordinary have to hire domestics. In Texas, the legislature put aside a rule providing jail terms for the ordinary hiring illegals as domestics--to prevent overcrowding the prisons and jail. The Spirit does linger, among Republicans. The divestiture by the President is understood among Republicans.

People have long understood that the Office of the President is held to a different standard.
