Period.
No exceptions. It it the law of the land.
Republicans have turned the other way since day one. They have betrayed our Constitution and our country.
Mr Trump said he could run his businesses and be President at the same time, if he wanted to. Nobody challenged him on his statement.
So, he was true to his word. He continued to act as President while doing business around the world. He said he would take no salary, even as he was raking in more than his salary off foreign businessmen at the Trump International Hotel, down the street from the White House. No, he would take no salary - he would just take it from other places.
This is a reason to impeach, even if Bob Mueller's investigation never happened.
