Been happening since last night for me . Guess we ' ll have to wait . <| sep |> The Cato institute not a bastion of liberals agrees with the about the Constitution violation concerns . would violate the obscure Emoluments Clause of Article I , Section 9 of the Constitution . Since the clause has never been directly addressed by the Supreme Court , we ' ll have to do some guesswork . The short answer very possibly , but it will depend upon the facts of the situation . The longer answer whether or not Trump ' s dealings violate the text and original public meaning of the Emoluments Clause , it should be highly concerning to everyone that the Presidentelect seems committed to still being closely involved in his businesses . p r e s i d e n t e l e c t t r u m p s b u s i n e s s d e alingsviolateconstitution
