Above all, the ability for Trump (and Melania) to be able to make money from the Presidency highlights the weakness in the Constitution and any subsequent laws that the President of the United States cannot make a profit from holding office. Has this not already happened with Trump hosting domestic government employees and foreign dignitaries in his hotels at elevated taxpayer cost? That the Democrats have not been able to stop this shows lack of effectiveness in appropriate laws. The British Constitution relies on it whole body of laws and refers little to a single document that was written over two hundred years ago. I believe it is a more fluid means of adjusting to modern times than referring to an antiquated document repeatedly as if it were a Bible when the founders had no concept of computers artificial intelligence, cars, planes, electricity in homes etc.
