emoluments
"Adam Schiff, meanwhile, the congressman from Burbank, was ecstatic. Schiff has spent years obsessing over impeachment like it was a young Jodie Foster. Colleagues say he has pictures of impeachment taped to the walls of his bedroom. He is believed to have written it steamy, unhinged letters, using his own body fluids. So, for Schiff, today's vote was thrilling, in ways that only a court-appointed psychiatrist could appreciate." <ref>https://www.facebook.com/TuckerCarlsonTonight/videos/2420222244700108/</ref><ref>https://www.thedailybeast.com/tucker-carlson-gets-really-strange-adam-schiff-wrote-steamy-impeachment-letters-with-his-own-body-fluids</ref>

==The "phony Emoluments Clause"==
While defending his (later rescinded) decision to use his own property to host the G7 conference, Donald Trump dismissed the emoluments clause:
"You people with this phony Emoluments Clause"<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/10/21/donald-trump-mocks-constitution-emoluments-clause-phony/4055162002/</ref>
The "Foreign Emoluments Clause" is:
::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.
It is Article I, Section 9, clause 8 of the Constitution of the United States of America, which is the principal instrument of government of the United States.
According to Article II, Section 1, clause 8 of the Constitution, the President, at the time of his inauguration, swears (or affirms) that he will to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
The preservation, protection, and defense the Constitution is about as conservative a stance as one can imagine.
