Bill Summary
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that President Trump must comply with the Foreign Emoluments Clause, by submitting all plans for his jumbo jet gift from Qatar immediately to Congress.
AI Summary
This resolution addresses President Trump's potential acceptance of a Boeing 747-8 aircraft from Qatar, valued at approximately $400 million, and emphasizes the constitutional requirement under the Foreign Emoluments Clause that presidents must seek congressional approval before accepting gifts from foreign governments. The resolution recalls historical precedents where presidents like Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, and Abraham Lincoln sought congressional guidance before accepting gifts from foreign entities, and highlights the constitutional framers' intent to prevent potential corruption and undue foreign influence. It specifically calls on President Trump to submit all plans for the Qatar aircraft to Congress and obtain explicit congressional consent before accepting the gift, noting potential national security risks associated with accepting such a valuable asset from a foreign state. The resolution also references President Trump's public statements about potentially accepting the aircraft and warns that unauthorized acceptance would violate the Foreign Emoluments Clause, which prohibits federal officeholders from receiving gifts or emoluments from foreign governments without congressional approval.
