Domestic #Emoluments Clause: Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 ensures the #POTUS receives a fixed compensation and prohibits the POTUS from receiving "any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them". The ultimate constitutional remedy for Presidential self-dealing, corruption, or abuse of power is #impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction by the Senate. #NoKings "unparalleled exercise in self-dealing" a US judge has said in a scathing ruling.

The word emolument originates from the Latin term emolumentum, which initially referred to a payment made to a miller for grinding grain. It derives from the root molere, meaning “to grind,” combined with ex- (“out”) to form emolere (“to grind out”). Over time, the meaning broadened to signify profit, gain, or advantage, particularly in the context of compensation for services or employment. #language #etymology #history #emoluments #American
