The "Emolument" Clause
“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.”
I would like to propose an amendment to Article 1, Section 9, clause 8 of the Constitution to include, after the word “Emolument,” the following phrase: “Nor shall the President and/or the Vice-President and their respective families engage in business, corporate, or the-like enterprises while in service to the United States of America.”

You going to participate in a discussion about this, or are you going to do your typical hit and hide?

Have you thought this through Teach? "And their respective families"

Just think of all the wonderful talent left out of the pool of potential applicants if such an amendment was approved!!  Professional politicians only need apply.

Obviously, he has never thought anything through.
These stories are not the result of meaningful thought, but rather seething hatred.

Every Teacher I know would stand and defend their opinions. Teach just hits and runs. It is like he forgot, he made the post altogether. Learn something new everyday.

Those and lawyers, most especially those of the "Better Call Saul" ilk.

Do you think Teach was an inner city teacher of failed school districts?

That is a good idea - presidents should have kids that are not allowed to work - let them travel the world and stay in the finest resorts ... ala Michelle and family..
