HE (WH pResident) Has Rec'd A Summons
“President Trump receives court summons at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue”
A major case alleging Trump is violating the Constitution moves forward.
“Attorneys general for the District of Columbia and Maryland have expanded their lawsuit against President Donald Trump to include Trump in his personal capacity as a businessman.
As part of the process, they sent an official summon to Trump at his home, the White House, located on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Lawyers for Trump have 21 days to respond.
The suit brought by D.C. and Maryland alleges President Trump is violating two separate constitutional clauses: the foreign emoluments clause and the domestic emoluments clause.
The foreign emoluments clause prohibits the president from receiving “any present, Emolument, Office or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.” This provision, Maryland and D.C. argue, is violated when foreign governments patronize his D.C. hotel and other properties, including the decision by the Embassy of Kuwait after the election to switch a major event to the Trump hotel, after initially booking the Four Seasons — an action first reported by ThinkProgress.”
