Richard Painter, the former chief ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, warned on Monday that Donald Trump “will be impeached” if he continues refusing to conform to the U.S. Constitution. In a Monday interview on Australia’s ABC News, Painter said that he hoped that Trump would “figure this out” when it came to understanding the Constitution’s ban on receiving profits from foreign governments and the protections it gives to the rights of Americans. “He did what he needed to do to be a successful businessman, he figured that out and he now has to figure out how to be a successful president,” Painter explained. “But he is going to need to sell his business interests, he’s going to need to stop giving inflammatory speeches and not try to politicize our intelligence services.” The former Bush adviser said the FBI and Director James Comey engaged in “illegal political activity before the election [and] we don’t want any more of that.” “We want a president to be an effective president within the bounds set forth by the Constitution,” Painter continued. “A president who cannot do that will be impeached. But I don’t think Donald Trump is going to choose that route.” Painter specifically cautioned Trump not to run afoul of the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, which bans presidents from receiving things of value from foreign governments. “That also means the provisions of the constitution that protect Americans from discrimination based on their religious faith,” he continued. “We are not going to be keeping a registry of Muslims, we are not going to be deporting Muslims, we’re not going to be barring people from coming into our country because of their religion.” “He is going to need to comply with the Constitution in order to be a good president, in order to remain as president. We will remove a president who cannot comply with the Constitution.” Watch the video below from ABC 730.

Well, that would be a first.
Is that guy wearing a wig?
The it will be the first time in history. Not one president has been constitutional nor has one president been removed from office! More lip service from elites who are terrified that trump is crashing their party for the benefit of the average man.
On both parts. You beat me to it.
Either that or he paints it to cover the gray...
Oh yeah, like you pussies' did with obama? You weak, bitch asses can't do anything but WHINE like the little girls you are.
Does that also apply to the tens of millions of dollars received by the Clinton foundation as an approved shadow government? After reading his list of bogus subversive complaints and threats, I can well imagine why he was willing to work in the Bush "islam is a religion of peace" administration.
Like you pussies did with Bill Clinton! Impeached, but not tried nor removed, which equals NOTHING. We didn't want you clinton supporters to have a meltdown. I hope you marched with all the other pussies yesterday. I can certainly can see you decked out in a pink pussy uniforms. Got a new slogan for you dems masquerading as paulies. "Pussies for paul"

https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articlei#section9 Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8: Note that the emoluments clause only involves an item given by a king, prince, or foreign state; foreign governments, not all foreign sources. History implies that it applies to appointed positions and not to elected positions. What about the Legislative Branch? In 1792, the Senate asked Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton to compile a list of all persons holding Offices . . . under the United States and their salaries. Hamilton’s 1793 response included nonelected officials in each branch, including the Legislative Branch. The question whether this category, and therefore the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause, reaches any or all federal elected positions—i.e., Representative, Senator, Vice President, President, and presidential elector—poses a difficult interpretive challenge. For example, Hamilton’s list did not include members of Congress or any other elected state or federal positions. Likewise, George Washington, while President, accepted and kept two diplomatic gifts, but he never asked for or received congressional consent. However, subsequent presidents, such as Andrew Jackson, in similar circumstances, sought congressional consent. Whose practice should we rely on? Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Ed. An "assigned duty" or "function." Synonyms are "post", "appointment", "situation", "place", "position", and "office" commonly suggests a position of (especially public) trust or authority. Also right to exercise a public function or employment, and to take the fees and emoluments belonging to it. A public charge or employment, and he who performs the duties of the office is an officer. Although an office is an employment, it does not follow that every employment is an office. A man may be employed under a contract, express or implied, to do an act, or to perform a service, without becoming an officer. But, if the duty be a continuing one, which is defined by rule prescribed by the government, which an individual is appointed by the government to perform, who enters upon the duties appertain to his status, without any contract defining them, it seems very difficult to distinguish such a charge or employment from an office, or the person who performs the duty from an officer. In the constitutional sense, the term implies an authority to exercise some portion of the sovereign power, either in making, executing, or administering the laws. Elected positions are not conferred by the government. They are conferred by the people.
No... it's a hamster... you wanna play with it?

Because of democrats.

No... your comment was queer as a $3 bill to begin with, before I egged you on into outing YOURself. Hell, you're not even man enough to spell my name correctly...
Any one who can read knows my 'mouse in your pocket' comment is an old joke, hardly queer. You're getting desperate, willy. Admit it, you're gay..

Commenting on your political progressivism is NOT stalking, willy. And YOU started our discussion about your fairylike proclivities, poor soul. So a suggestion. Try putting a little more thought into your criticism of our republican form of government.
Well then you gotta be pretty goddam old 'cause I sure as hell never heard it before... So where'd you learn that one? Some private boarding school where buggery was your only extracurricular activity?
Well then you gotta be pretty goddam old 'cause I sure as hell never heard it before... So where'd you learn that one? Some private boarding school where buggery was your only extracurricular activity? There you go again, making homo comments. Sad. Below is an explanation of the phrase, unfortunately without its origins, but believe me, its older that my 80 years. You got a mouse in your pocket? A reply to a person who has used the word "we". The person making the reply is telling the speaker no one is effected by their statement other than them. Or, in an organization (work or volunteer positions), someone has just said that "we" all need to do something.

No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.
Scope. However, the text of the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause is not limited to American ambassadors or even to American diplomatic personnel. Instead, the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause applies to Offices of Profit or Trust under the United States: a substantially wider category. It is undisputed that this category applies to all officials holding appointed positions in the Judicial and Executive Branches of the national government.
Office. A right, and correspondent duty, to exercise a public trust. A public charge or employment. An employment on behalf of the government in any station or public trust, not merely transient, occasional, or incidental. The most frequent occasions to use the word arise with reference to a duty and power conferred on an individual by the government; and, when this is the connection, "public office" is a usual and more discriminating expression. But a power and duty may exist without immediate grant from government, and may be properly called an "office;" as the office of executor. Here the individual acts towards legatees in performance of a duty, and in exercise of a power not derived from their consent, but devolved on him by an authority which quoad hoc is superior.
