Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin and 22 other Democrats have introduced a non-binding resolution that would ask Trump to convert his assets to conflict-free holdings, create blind trusts managed by independent trustees and otherwise comply with the Constitution, which forbids public officials from receiving gifts from foreign governments and foreign-controlled companies without congressional consent.
Cardin is the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He says the American people “need to know that the President of the United States is making decisions … based on what is in the public interest and not because it would advance the president’s private interests.”
Narishkeit for political propaganda purposes.
It can be runed by the Clinton Foundation
and Hillary can continue taking big bucks for speeches on wall street ?????????
As the article states “non-binding”, because there is no such rule for the POTUS.
Memo to Mr. Cardin: the election is over. Do something useful now.
